Pyramid FileResponse changes name

Question

I am using pyramid.response.FileResponse to serve files. At browser file name changes automatically to some random name. For e.g, file I want to serve is abc.zip but, at client it prompts to store as 3PE01Sf_.zip.zip. How to avoid this?

The name of the viewed file using a browser will depend on the route. If you look at the example in the doc the route points to '/test.jpg' but you are actually serving 'groundhog1.jpg'.

Alternatively depending on your source code, there maybe some library which generates the name of your dynamically created file, for example zip of PDF.
