Force file download for IE9 on Azure Blob Storage

Hello,
I am trying to use Azure Blob Storage as a location for secure file downloads using Shared Access Signature. Everything is working very well, however the problem I am having is I am trying to allow the user to save files from the browser and I have all browsers
except IE9 working.
Reviewing this question,
What content type to force download of text response?
this works well when I can control all of the headers, however in Azure Blob Storage, I have set the Content-Type to application/octet-stream and this allows all browsers except IE to ask the user to save the file, IE simply opens the file. It appears that
known file types will open (example .jpg, .wmv etc…).
In Azure, I have found no way to set
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="My Text File.txt"
Is there a way, using Azure Blob Storage, to use IE to download any file directly from Azure Blob Storage?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Actually, we can't set Content-Disposition for blobs, and I can't think of any other workarounds. From my experience, in most case IE's behavior is fine. I would like to know why you have to prompt a download? The user can see the text file, and
if they wish to save it locally, they have more than one way to do that (copy paste, save file, etc.). If they simply want to read the text and then forget it, that's also fine. They don't even have to download it and then double click a local file to read
the content.
If you have to modify the behavior, the only workaround I can think of is to use a web role as an intermediate bridge, and add the Content-Disposition from your web role.

Ming Xu.

  • Streaming files from Azure Blob Storage through Node.js server

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to implement download server with Node.js Express app in a way that website visitors would be able to download files via stream straight from Azure Blob storage - so the server won't need to download files to its local storage. Here's
    how I do that:
    outStream is the response object (res) received by Express router; blobSvc is initialized like this:
    blobSvc = azure.createBlobService(conf.azureStorageConfig.account, conf.azureStorageConfig.key, conf.azureStorageConfig.host);
    . There are several issues I face, for example - while small files get downloaded well, the bigger ones (even 40 MB) do not finish the download successfully, throwing an error in console:
    It has to be mentioned that the files are zip-archives, and while the error is thrown, the file is not completely downloaded to the client's machine - the archive is broken. 
    There are other issues, like the fact that the client can't download more than 1 file from the server simultaneously - he gets response timeout after trying to start downloading the second file.
    What is the right way to use streaming with azure storage library in Node for client downloads?

  • How to Secure or mask the Video Streaming on Azure Blob Storage

    I have a problem on using my Azure Blob Storage, this is for streaming specifically MP4 files.
    I have a wordpress site and I use Azure Blob Storage for my Storage, I use CloudberryExplorer for my browsing and editting
    My problem is that, the wordpress site Video Option which is MediaElemtJs have an exposed Video Source (This mean they can use the video source for their own project)
    Is their a way to mask or hide the video source? or I can limit the video source that it should only be coming from my site

    hi Franz,
    Base on my experience, there has two approaches for this issue.
    1.Using the SAS in js request.
    Like this:
    <source src="https://MY-AZURE-STORAGE.blob.core.windows.net/asset-b1ebfc63-4e1f-4c76-b2dd-b040113aa493/MigratingWebSitesAndDatabasesToWindowsAzure_mid.mp4?sv=2012-02-12&st=2013-09-03T17%3A17%3A20Z&se=2015-09-03T17%3A17%3A20Z&sr=c&si=efc57c3c-a025-41cd-a8b1-908231c7aed2&sig=xyiIxmqNdF%2Bo1x7eq89xCUgXkenZLEEpq%2B%2Bo715dT0U%3D" type="video/mp4">
    Please see this blog:http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1/
    You could set the start time,expire time  and permission into your request. And you could use javascript to create the request and set src value. please see this sample (http://gauravmantri.com/2013/02/16/uploading-large-files-in-windows-azure-blob-storage-using-shared-access-signature-html-and-javascript/
    2.Create a web handler to handle the request url
    You could create a .ashx page and handle the url in .ashx page. Like this:
    <video src="videos.ashx?source=file.mp4" width="640" height="480" controls></video>
    Please try it.
    Also, you could see this threads
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9756837/prevent-html5-video-from-being-downloaded-right-click-saved form some ideas.

  • Access blob storage files by specific domain. (Prevent hotlinking in Azure Blob Storage)

    Hi,
    My application deployed on azure, and I managed all my file to blob storage.
    When i created container with public permission then it accessible for all anonymous users. When i hit URL of file (blob) from different browser, then i will get that file.
    In Our application we have some important file and images that we don't want to expose. When we render HTML page then in <img> tag we define src="{blob file url}" when i mention this then public file are accessible, but same URL i copied
    and hit to anther browser then still it is visible. My requirement is my application domain only able to access that public file in blob storage.
    Amazon S3 which provide bucket policy where we define that for specific domain only file will accessible. see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/example-bucket-policies.html
    Restricting Access to a Specific HTTP Referrer

    hi Prasad,
    Thanks for your post back.
    All of SAS and CORS could work, but not comprehensive.
    For your requirement, " My requirement is my application domain only able to access that public file in blob storage.", If you want to stop the other domain site access your blob, you may need set the CORS for your blob. When
    the origin domain of the request is checked against the domains listed for the
    AllowedOrigins element. If the origin domain is included in the list, or all domains are allowed with the wildcard character '*', then rules evaluation proceeds. If the origin domain is not included, then the request fails. So other domain didn't access
    your resource. You also try the Gaurav's blog:
    http://gauravmantri.com/2013/12/01/windows-azure-storage-and-cors-lets-have-some-fun/
    If you access CROS resource, you also need use SAS authenticated.
    However SAS means that you can grant a client limited permissions to your blobs, queues, or tables for a specified period of time and with a specified set of permissions, without having to share your account access keys. The SAS is a URI that encompasses
    in its query parameters all of the information necessary for authenticated access to a storage resource (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1/
    ).  So if your SAS URI is available and not expired ，this URI could be used to other domain site. I think you can try to test it.
    If I misunderstood, please let me know.

  • Azure blob storage can not load file

    I am trying to follow the MSDN tutorial on creating a container in blob storage and am getting the following error:
    Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.Services.Client, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
    I have tried numerous stack overflow suggestions such as this
    one , to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling Azure storage, and re-installing it as well. Just in case it is helpful here is my test case for Azure storage:
    public void TestCloudStorage()
    CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("pictures");
    container.CreateIfNotExists();
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    HI
    I know what happend, that's the Nuget Package error.
    Azure Storage nuget package 3.0+ have this error.
    My solution is use Azure nuget package 2.1+
    1 delete all the dll reference for Azure storage (Or recreate a new project)
    2 input below command in package Manager console
    Install-Package
    WindowsAzure.Storage -Version 2.1.0.4
    That will resolve your problem absolutely .

  • Force file download? Content-Disposition?

    Hello,
    I recently started using an X-Serve with OS X 10.4.8 installed.
    This is my media server, and I'm trying to configure it to force a file download dialog when an mp3 file is pulled.
    I used to do this by using an .htaccess file with the following:
    <FilesMatch "*.mp3">
    ForceType application/octet-stream
    Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>
    But it doesn't seem to work now.
    Do I have to add a new Content Handler? If so, what do I put to force a file download?
    Thanks very much

    See Oracle Metalink,

  • Azure Blob Storage API

    Hi,
    I'm starting to use Azure Java APIs; blob storage to be precise. I would like to know more about the Storage SDK. Have a specific question about Azure Storage SDK:
    Does it use REST APIs internally to store and retrieve files? How about the performance?
    Note: I'll be running all my code on a Azure Virtual Machine.
    Thanks in advance.

    You might want to post this in storage forum. Just my thoughts (not authoritative)
    I am not sure about the performance. I will expect Java SDK to use the REST service and performance targets are specified here.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn249410.aspx. Assuming you are trying to do read from with in the same region, performance should be good.
    Another tip to improve the performance is to create an affinity group and have virtual machines and storage accounts created with in same affinity group (which should give better performance, as affinity group is a small/nearby set with in a single region).
    More than API performance, I will suggest to choose the right design for your blob types, based on your requirements.

  • File download for OrdAudio type

    Hello
    I would like to ask why my filedownload link is not displayed. I am using type OrdAudio for Audio files. Do I have to use OrdDoc for this. Is this the reason for JHS not showing the download link
    Esma

    Esma,
    I'm no authority on this but isn't the MediaPlayer thing something that is configured on the Browser? Often when downloading audio content from the web, you get this dialog asking whether MediaPlayer should play it inside the browser, and whether to remember this setting in future (per site, I think).
    Kind regards,

    and the file.size() is semicode, meaning there isnt a function for it. So you might end up with something like this
         response.setContentType( "application/zip" );
         String fileName = Globals.getAttachmentLocation() + readFile;
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName);
         BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream( fileName ) );
         ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         int start = 0;
         int length = 1024;
         byte[] buff = new byte[length];
         while ( bufferedInputStream.read( buff, start, length ) != -1 ) {
              byteArrayOutputStream.write( buff, start, length );
         bufferedInputStream.close();
         response.setContentLength( byteArrayOutputStream.size() );
         response.getOutputStream().write( byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() );
         response.getOutputStream().flush();
