Download file with a REST request needing headers and giving the content

Question

I am using AngularJs with a REST API. I don\'t have the hand on the REST API. I can store digital object with the API by sending a REST request. I can get it also with a GET req

Answer 1

Thanks everybody for helping find a solution.

I am not able to find a satisfying solution in javascript and client side application. I am going to make a proxy class communicating with the API.

This will send the REST request with security headers and will give as response the file content.

This class will be called by a HTTP GET request, so the 'save as' process will be managed easily thanks to right response headers.
