Unable to download a file from S3 by the URL in a browser










3















I have such code snippet that used to be work with the previous versions of Google Chrome, but now it does not work. When I run this script I redirected to the page with the content of the file(it's a text) and with AWS URL(the same as in setAttribute).



var element = document.createElement('a');
element.setAttribute('href', 'https://s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/XXX/XXX/XXX?Signature=XXX&Expires=XXX&AWSAccessKeyId=XXX');
element.setAttribute('download', 'filename.txt');
document.body.appendChild(element);
element.click();


How to download this file?

  • Maybe it's to do with settings on the browser how to behave when a download link it clicked? Chrome "opens" a lot of file extensions by default in a previewer rather than downloading the files.

  • check if HTTP header Content-Disposition is present in the response headers and if it's set to "filename.txt".

  • @BorisS Yes, it's present: Content-Disposition: inline;filename=filename.txt;filename*=UTF-8''filename.txt

  • Here your problem lies: Content-Disposition: inline, it should be Content-Disposition: attachment. Browsers ( and latest verstions of Chrome) favour Content-Disposition header over download attribute

I made an error in the comments.
Chrome still favours download attribute, but it completely ignores it if the anchor element has cross origin attributes ( meaning, if the file is hosted on a different domain).



To be able to download it, file needs to be served with header: Content-Disposition: attachment;



Check this tutorial to see how to set Content-Disposition in s3 management console: http://iwantmyreal.name/s3-download-only-presigned-upload

    Here is my solution:



     let downloadImage = url => 
    let urlArray = url.split("/")
    let bucket = urlArray[3]
    let key = `$urlArray[4]/$urlArray[5]`
    let s3 = new AWS.S3( params: Bucket: bucket )
    let params = Bucket: bucket, Key: key
    s3.getObject(params, (err, data) =>
    let blob=new Blob([data.Body], type: data.ContentType);
    let link=document.createElement('a');
    link.href=window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    link.download=url;
    link.click();
    )



    The url parameter refers to the full url of the image.
