@RequestMapp         


        

Answer 1

You are almost done. Just remove

headers.setContentDispositionFormData(filename, filename);

from your code block. It should be used when posting multipart/form-data to the server.

Answer 2

Content-Disposition to control either download or view in browser

View in browser

headers.add("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + "example.pdf");

Download

headers.add("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "example.pdf");
