Trying to download a pdf doc from behind a secure REST API with Angular, we
wrote this:
var _config = { headers : {'Accept' : '*/*'},
responseType : 'arraybuffer'
};
var success = function(data, status, header, config) {
$log.debug('Download resume success - type:' + typeof (data));
var _contentType = (header('Content-Type'));
var blob = new Blob([ data ], { type : _contentType });
var url = (window.URL || window.webkitURL).createObjectURL(blob);
var anchor = angular.element('<a/>');
anchor.attr({
href : url,
target : '_blank',
download : _fileName
})[0].click();
}
$http.get(_url, _config).success(success).error(error);
We've tried all permutations of blob and arraybuffer but `data` always
returns as a String with the extended characters 'decoded' which is to say
broken.
`_contentType` is always `application/pdf` although we've tried forcing it
to `application/octet-stream` as well.
This seems pretty fundamental, what are we missing? (BTW we've tried
FileSaver.js, didn't make any difference.)
