Download files
Question

Hi,

I saw many posts about downloading files, but I still didn't get how to do a very simple task: I just want to have a button on my reactive web application to download a file (any format, like PDF, JPG, TXT, XLS, DOC, PPT, ZIP, etc) from a known URL, i.e. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51NV8Uil7wL._AC_SY200_.jpg . The URL wil be hardcoded, it's not a value of database field.

How is the simplest way to do this? Thanks

Hi Marcelo,

You can achieve the mentioned requirement by using GetRequest_Submit server action defined in HTTPRequestHander API Module

See this sample app

Please find the attached .oml file


Hope this helps you!

Is this applicable with reports ?

Reports is located in other screen/espace

I've tried this but it returns this error
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."

Hello Marcelo.

If you simply place the link there, clicking will sent the user to the image address.

To force download you can always:

1. Get the content with HttpBinaryGet (an extension).
2. Set the download action with such content and the name you want.

You just need to create a server action to bridge the extension and the screen action.
