HTTP::Message vs Content-Type: application/force-download

[firehat]

Monks,

I'm trying to access content identified as follows from an LWP POST:

    Content-Type: application/force-download
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= Results.txt

`$mess->content' returns nothing.

    $mess = $ua->post('https://foobarbaz.com/servlet',
        Content_Type => 'form-data',
        Content => [
            foo => 'a',
            bar => 'b',
            baz => 'c',
            attachment => [
                undef,
               'attachment',
               Content => $req
            ],
        ]
    );

What's the proper way to access the `application/force-download' content?

Much obliged!

application/octet-stream is the official type. application/force-download is not recognised by the browser, which means it gets treated as application/octet-stream. Might as well use application/octet-stream directly.

`$mess->content' returns nothing.

What does it contain?

print $mess->dump;

There is nothing special about application/force- download, simply follow SOP, do it in a browser, then try to replicate the headers (livehttpheaders).

$mess->dump reports `(no content)'.

Using cURL:


HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Content-Type: application/force-download
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= Results.txt

Expected Content Here...

Using LWP:


HTTP/1.1 200 OK

(no content)

It has to output a bit more than that

  $ua->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
  $ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });
