trim redundant file extension

OffBeatMammal

In my script I am setting the whole of the file name based on some report parameters:

function afterRender(req, res) {
    res.meta.reportName = ('"Campaign Metrics ' + req.data.clca[0]["campaign"] + " - " + req.data.clca[0]["seg"] + '.pdf"')
    res.meta.contentType = 'application/pdf'
}

but, jsReport is being helpful and adding an extra .pdf

inline;filename="Campaign Metrics XXXX l Q3 YYYY - All Segments.pdf".pdf

doesn't seem to be causing any real problems, but is there anything I should be doing to stop it doing this (or would it just be a low priority feature request to not append file extension if quoted?)

Please try this

res.meta.reportName = ('"Campaign Metrics ' + req.data.clca[0]["campaign"] + " - " + req.data.clca[0]["seg"] + '.pdf"')
res.meta.contentType = 'application/pdf'
res.meta.fileExtension = null

that actually puts the word .null at the end (replacing with '' just puts .)

inline;filename="Campaign Metrics XXXX l Q3 YYYY - All Segments.pdf".null

Ah ok. You can also set the full content-disposition response header this way

function afterRender(req, res) {
    res.meta.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'inline;filename="Campaign Metrics XXXX l Q3 YYYY - All Segments.pdf"'
}
