Change the PDF report name

Genhan

I would like to change the PDF report's name as details.pdf. Here is my request body:

{
	"template":{ "shortid":"rJtK3I_zW" },
	"options": {  "Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename=details.pdf"  }
}

However, the PDF report returned from the server still has the name response.pdf.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks!

it seems to me that you are doing everything ok, but unfortunately the Content-Disposition header is very tricky, the behaviour depends on the client of the request, sometimes it does not work on IE, or Chrome, etc, you can check/verify that jsreport is applying your options correctly, just check the response headers of the request... i don't know a way to hack the client's request to always use the filename of Content-Disposition.. if you find something please let us know.

Thanks, @bjrmatos. Here are the response headers:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin →*
Connection →keep-alive
Content-Disposition →attachment; filename=details.pdf
Content-Type →application/pdf
Date →Mon, 10 Jul 2017 15:42:39 GMT
File-Extension →pdf
Number-Of-Pages →8
Transfer-Encoding →chunked
X-Powered-By →Express
X-XSS-Protection →0

Does anything look wrong to you?

no, everything looks ok. unfortunately it seems that it is the client of the request that is not honoring the Content-Disposition header

I see. Thank you, @bjrmatos .

I'm having a similar problem where I cannot name reports. In my case each report name is some guid like '023bb970-81fc-4945-a5e9-622578a2a723'. I am new to using jsreportsonline and have never actually gotten a normal report name. In my case requests are being made from node using superagent (I also tried with axios but had the same result):

    const data = {
      "template": {
        "shortid": jsReportOnlineId
      },
      "data": reportData,
      "options": {
        "Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename=myreport.pdf",
      }
    };
    const {username, password} = getJsReportOnlineAuthorizationInfo();
    request
    .post(reportUrl)
    .set('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    .responseType('arraybuffer')
    .auth(username, password)
    .send(data)
    .end(function (err, response) {

The generated report looks as desired except for the report name. Here is response header info:
