Screenshot 2 is the debugger window info, and below is the code used to download the file, it was running well in visual studio Chrome Emulators, but when I deploy the code, it stopped working. the same code is used in another place and that one works fine, not sure why this one doesn't work.
public ActionResult DownloadFile(decimal document_id)
{
var DocumentForDownload = riskProfile.GetDocumentForDownload(document_id, isfordownload: true);
byte[] byteArray = DocumentForDownload.DOCUMENT;
var filename = DocumentForDownload.DOCUMENT_NAME + "." + DocumentForDownload.EXTENSION;
string mimeType = "application/" + DocumentForDownload.EXTENSION;
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-length", byteArray.Length.ToString());
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/" + DocumentForDownload.EXTENSION;
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "utf-8";
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1250");
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(byteArray);
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Close();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Close();
return new EmptyResult();
}
found the solution, the transfer encoding was chunked
, which doesn't support content-length header, so we need to specify the transfer-encoding to identity
.
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Transfer-Encoding", "identity")
