On Node Server i have this code . Its basically sending the browser POST data to api server and recieves a file as chunk data and the same data is send back to browser via pipe response . But the issue is the api reponse is correct and i can write the file using nodejs locally but it doesnt push download file in browser
router.post('/MyURLOnNODE', function (req, res) {
var MyJsonData = { some Data };
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-disposition': 'attachment; filename=fileArchive.tgz','Content-Type': 'application/force-download'});
try {
request({
url: 'SomeAPI Url', //URL to hit
method: 'POST',
json: MyJsonData
}).pipe(res);
} catch(e) {
console.log("Pipe error",e);
}
console.log("File Streaming Called ",MyJsonData)
}
);
Client Side Code ...This was an attempt to create a blob and use it on urlObject. but the downloaded file is corrupted when i checked in hex.
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: 'MyURLOnNODE',
data: PostData, //forms user object
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
.then(function (data) {
var response=data.data;
var id = Flash.create('success', "Folder Archieved", 5000);
var a = document.getElementById('arch');
a.href = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([response]));
a.download = "FolderMe.tgz";
a.type='application/octet-stream '
a.click();
}
So is there any solution to this ? either on NodeJs Side or On browser

This thread says its hard to convert an ajax request to download file. So i need to work on client on using urlobject. But blob isnt working with stream data. How to solve it
