#

what did you get from another http client like cURL? use curl -I to see the response headers only

errant ridge May 22, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

i dont know what you mean

#

where should i test it

bronze temple May 22, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

so you don't know curl tool?

#

I want to see if this is an issue with your client (that this.http.get)

#

i do not know it no

#

have you tried the StreamableFile approach?

#

https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/streaming-files

#

ive had success using this way

#

can try it give me sec

#

no luck

#

I've been using yours approach with no worries so far
Try another http client instead of your app like Insomnia, Postman, cURL, https://hoppscotch.io

Hoppscotch • Open source API development ecosystem

Helps you create requests faster, saving precious time on development.

#

then you could see if those response headers are well defined

#

i have authenticator so it get unauthorized

bronze temple May 22, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

then you could remove the auth logic
or do you need that to perform your logic?

#

the goal here is to see the response headers and if the file is being properly sent

errant ridge May 22, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

I could try, but its hard, cant i just log in on postman or something

bronze temple May 22, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

yeah

errant ridge May 22, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

I mean like login and receive a token

#

#

bronze temple May 22, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

ok so somehow you got a application/json instead of application/pdf

#

are you sure that that downloadPDF is being invoked? I mean, is there a chance of another route overwriting that one

#

I think so ye let me put a git with these file so u can see

#

https://github.com/SkyFerian/PDF-problem
i made some files, these are not correct paths, but i couldn't import my whole project because its to big
So i added only necessary files

Did u see something wrong ? should i maybe make a new controller and service for file upload, file download ?

errant ridge May 23, 2023, 7:22 AM

#

i made a service/ controller for uploading and downloading pdf's but it keeps giving me content disposition header is missing so it does not get overwritten
