In silex I can do this to force-download a file:
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;
$app = new Silex\Application();
// Url can be http://pathtomysilexapp.com/download
$app->get('/download', function (Request $request) use ($app) {
$file = '/path/to/download.zip';
if( !file_exists($file) ){
return new Response('File not found.', 404);
}
return $app->sendFile($file)->setContentDisposition(ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT, 'download.zip');
});
$app->run();
This works well for smaller files. However my use case requires downloading a big that can be paused/resumed by a download manager.
There is an example about file streaming but it doesn't seem to be what I am looking for. Has somebody done this before? I could just use the answer from here and be done with it. But it would be nice if there is a silexy way of doing this.
