Perhaps if you want to override the user's preferences then octet-stream would be the way to go, but giving the correct type and a suggested filename is the "correct" way to provide a download.
So my question is should the content type be set before uploading? And also, we get only a link from the backend team, a url that gives the file path, that we open in new tab using:window.
Kailas I don't understand what you're trying to do.. These headers have no effect on a file upload, you need to have the code behind the url set the headers every time it is downloaded by the client. ColinM Thanks buddy, you said it right, the issue when we debugged was the mime type was set while uploading the files.
But if many of the PDFs that you download are going to be used in a desktop application on your computer, such as Adobe Acrobat, then you might prefer to download them, rather than open them in Chrome. Our tutorial below will show you where to find the setting that controls this behavior so that you stop opening PDFs in Chrome and download them instead.
The steps in this article were performed on the desktop version of the Google Chrome Web browser. This guide is going to show you how to change a setting in your browser so that PDFs you open in Chrome will download to your computer rather than open automatically in Chrome. The default applications your computer uses to open files can be changed if you prefer to use something other than what is currently set. On a PC, the setting can be managed in the Default Programs interface, whereas Mac users simply need to right-click on the file in question to configure a new default app.
If your aim is to manage how Google Chrome associates files, on the other hand, focus on disabling -- or installing and enabling -- the browser plug-ins instead. When attempting to open a file that is associated with a new piece of software, Windows recognizes the fact that the new software can handle it and gives you the opportunity to change your default application.
To modify file associations at any other time, however, you'll need to access the Default Programs menu -- it's in the Control Panel, though you can get there by searching for the word 'default' at the Start screen and selecting 'Default Programs' from the available options. You can select 'Set Default Programs,' highlight 'Google Chrome' on the next screen and configure which files are opened with Chrome -- but you won't be able to manage file types that are not already associated with Chrome, like PDFs or audio files.
Instead, select the option to 'Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program' and add Chrome to those file types you want it to open. By default, Google Chrome opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder.
To have PDF files open in the browser again, repeat these steps and select the Preview in Firefox option or Use other option to choose another program. By default, Opera opens a PDF file in the browser window instead of saving it to the downloads folder.
