How do I change a filename on-download with javascript?

Question

The script adds a download link for videos (on a specific site). How do I change the filename to something else while downloading?

Example URL:
\"http://websit         


        

Answer 1

You can't do this with client-side JavaScript, you need to set the response header...

.NET

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=myname.txt")

Or PHP

header('Content-Disposition: inline;filename=myname.txt')

Also available in other server-side languages of your choice.
