I read your other response to the OP about range request and tomcat
respecting it. I am doing some research and I found the following:
BalusC says, in an older/2009 blog[1], yes obviously it is old, because
back then, he said,
You could leverage the task to a default servlet of the
webcontainer/appserver you're using, but most of them doesn't implement all
of the performance enhancements, so does for example Tomcat's
DefaultServlet<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/default-servlet.html>
*not* support the Expiresheader.
but per what you said, Chris, he also mentioned the following in that blog,
Resume
downloads<http://balusc.blogspot.com/2009/02/fileservlet-supporting-resume-and.html#ResumeDownloads>
To enable download resumes, the server have to send at least the
Accept-Ranges<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.5>
, ETag <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.19>
and
Last-Modified<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.29>
response
headers to the client along with the file.
The Accept-Ranges response header with the value "bytes" informs the client
that the server supports byte-range requests. With this the client could
request for a specific byte range using the
Range<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.35>
request
header.
One line from the code below,
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Content-Disposition",
contentDispositionValue + ";filename=\"" + content.getName() + "\"");
shows that the server is not sending a response header containing range
request. Am I correct?
The code below:
public void processAction(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws
AbortProcessingException {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
StreamedContent content = (StreamedContent)
value.getValue(elContext);
if(content == null) {
return;
}
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
String contentDispositionValue = contentDisposition != null ? (String)
contentDisposition.getValue(elContext) : "attachment";
try {
externalContext.setResponseContentType(content.getContentType());
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Content-Disposition",
contentDispositionValue + ";filename=\"" + content.getName() + "\"");
externalContext.addResponseCookie(Constants.DOWNLOAD_COOKIE, "true", new
HashMap<String, Object>());
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
int length;
InputStream inputStream = content.getStream();
OutputStream outputStream =
externalContext.getResponseOutputStream();
while ((length = (inputStream.read(buffer))) != -1) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
externalContext.setResponseStatus(200);
externalContext.responseFlushBuffer();
inputStream.close();
facesContext.responseComplete();
}
catch(IOException e) {
throw new FacesException(e);
}
}
