How to set file name in response

Question

I know about content-disposition but I read what it uses for email messages. And I want to know how I can set file name with content-type. ps I use Pyramid framework

edit: Web site has button 'download' how to perform Response object for file name too, like

return Response(body=f.read(), content_type='application/octet-stream')

and what I need to do for showing correct file name in browser.

Can you please clarify your question? Is this for HTTP? What are you trying to do? — Emil Vikström, Apr 03 '12 at 10:19

You need to set the filename parameter of the Content-Disposition header like so:

response.content_disposition = 'attachment; filename="my_filename.txt"'

Is it possible to set the `filename` equal to a variable? – csymvoul May 04 '20 at 13:27
For giving filename variable you can use as : response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename= "%s"' % filename – mears Oct 26 '20 at 08:52

Use f string in python like below:

response = HttpResponse(file_data, content_type='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = f'attachment; filename="{filename}"'
return response
