我的方法完全基于jQuery。对我来说，问题是它必须是一个POST-HTTP调用。我希望它是由jQuery单独完成。

解决方案:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/some/webpage",
    headers: {'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrfToken},
    data: additionalDataToSend,
    dataType: "text",
    success: function(result) {
        let blob = new Blob([result], { type: "application/octetstream" }); 

        let a = document.createElement('a');
        a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        a.download = "test.xml";;
        document.body.appendChild(a);
        a.click();
        document.body.removeChild(a);
        window.URL.revokeObjectURL(a.href);
                        
        ...
    },
    error: errorDialog
});

解释:

我和很多人所做的是在网页上创建一个链接，指出应该下载目标，并将http-request的结果作为目标。之后，我将链接附加到文档，而不是简单地单击链接，然后删除链接。你不再需要iframe了。

神奇之处在于线条

let blob = new Blob([result], { type: "application/octetstream" }); 
a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);

The interesting point is that this solution is only working with a "blob". As you can see in other answers, some are simply using a blob but not explaining why and how to create it. As you can read e.g. in the Mozilla developer documentation you need a file, media ressource or blob for the function "createObjectURL()" to work. The problem is that your http-response might not be any of those. Therefore the first thing you must do is to convert your response to a blob. This is what the first line does. Then you can use the "createObjectURL" with your newly created blob. If you than click the link your browser will open a file-save dialog and you can save your data. Obviously it s possible that you cannot define a fixed filename for your file to download. Then you must make your response more complex like in the answer from Luke.

不要忘记释放内存，特别是在处理大文件时。要获得更多的示例和信息，您可以查看JS blob对象的详细信息

这是使用MVC时的工作代码，你从控制器中获取文件

假设你有你的字节数组声明和填充，你唯一需要做的是使用文件函数(使用System.Web.Mvc)

byte[] bytes = .... insert your bytes in the array
return File(bytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, "nameoffile.exe");

然后，在同一个控制器中，添加这两个函数

protected override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext context)
    {
        CheckAndHandleFileResult(context);

        base.OnResultExecuting(context);
    }

    private const string FILE_DOWNLOAD_COOKIE_NAME = "fileDownload";

    /// <summary>
    /// If the current response is a FileResult (an MVC base class for files) then write a
    /// cookie to inform jquery.fileDownload that a successful file download has occured
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="context"></param>
    private void CheckAndHandleFileResult(ResultExecutingContext context)
    {
        if (context.Result is FileResult)
            //jquery.fileDownload uses this cookie to determine that a file download has completed successfully
            Response.SetCookie(new HttpCookie(FILE_DOWNLOAD_COOKIE_NAME, "true") { Path = "/" });
        else
            //ensure that the cookie is removed in case someone did a file download without using jquery.fileDownload
            if (Request.Cookies[FILE_DOWNLOAD_COOKIE_NAME] != null)
                Response.Cookies[FILE_DOWNLOAD_COOKIE_NAME].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-1);
    }

然后你将能够调用你的控制器来下载并获得"success"或"failure"回调

$.fileDownload(mvcUrl('name of the controller'), {
            httpMethod: 'POST',
            successCallback: function (url) {
            //insert success code

            },
            failCallback: function (html, url) {
            //insert fail code
            }
        });

I found a fix that while it's not actually using ajax it does allow you to use a javascript call to request the download and then get a callback when the download actually starts. I found this helpful if the link runs a server side script that takes a little bit to compose the file before sending it. so you can alert them that it's processing, and then when it does finally send the file remove that processing notification. which is why I wanted to try to load the file via ajax to begin with so that I could have an event happen when the file is requested and another when it actually starts downloading.

js在首页

function expdone()
{
    document.getElementById('exportdiv').style.display='none';
}
function expgo()
{
   document.getElementById('exportdiv').style.display='block';
   document.getElementById('exportif').src='test2.php?arguments=data';
}

iframe

<div id="exportdiv" style="display:none;">
<img src="loader.gif"><br><h1>Generating Report</h1>
<iframe id="exportif" src="" style="width: 1px;height: 1px; border:0px;"></iframe>
</div>

然后是另一个文件:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function expdone()
{
    window.parent.expdone();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="exportif" src="<?php echo "http://10.192.37.211/npdtracker/exportthismonth.php?arguments=".$_GET["arguments"]; ?>"></iframe>
<script>document.getElementById('exportif').onload= expdone;</script>
</body></html>

我认为有一种方法可以使用js读取数据，这样就不需要php了。但我不知道它的手，我正在使用的服务器支持php，所以这对我有用。我想分享一下，也许能帮到别人。

好的，基于ndpu的代码这里有一个改进的(我认为)ajax_download;-

function ajax_download(url, data) {
    var $iframe,
        iframe_doc,
        iframe_html;

    if (($iframe = $('#download_iframe')).length === 0) {
        $iframe = $("<iframe id='download_iframe'" +
                    " style='display: none' src='about:blank'></iframe>"
                   ).appendTo("body");
    }

    iframe_doc = $iframe[0].contentWindow || $iframe[0].contentDocument;
    if (iframe_doc.document) {
        iframe_doc = iframe_doc.document;
    }

    iframe_html = "<html><head></head><body><form method='POST' action='" +
                  url +"'>" 

    Object.keys(data).forEach(function(key){
        iframe_html += "<input type='hidden' name='"+key+"' value='"+data[key]+"'>";

    });

        iframe_html +="</form></body></html>";

    iframe_doc.open();
    iframe_doc.write(iframe_html);
    $(iframe_doc).find('form').submit();
}

像这样使用这个;-

$('#someid').on('click', function() {
    ajax_download('/download.action', {'para1': 1, 'para2': 2});
});

参数被作为适当的post params发送，就像来自一个输入，而不是像前面的例子一样作为一个json编码的字符串。

注意:要警惕在这些表单上可能出现的变量注入。可能有一种更安全的方式来编码这些变量。或者考虑逃离它们。

使用窗口。打开https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open

例如，你可以把这行代码放在点击处理程序中:

window.open('/file.txt', '_blank');

它将打开一个新选项卡(因为'_blank' window-name)，该选项卡将打开URL。

你的服务器端代码也应该是这样的:

res.set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=file.txt');

通过这种方式，浏览器应该提示用户将文件保存到磁盘，而不仅仅是向他们显示文件。它还会自动关闭刚刚打开的选项卡。

我创建了一个小函数作为解决方案(灵感来自@JohnCulviner插件):

// creates iframe and form in it with hidden field,
// then submit form with provided data
// url - form url
// data - data to form field
// input_name - form hidden input name

function ajax_download(url, data, input_name) {
    var $iframe,
        iframe_doc,
        iframe_html;

    if (($iframe = $('#download_iframe')).length === 0) {
        $iframe = $("<iframe id='download_iframe'" +
                    " style='display: none' src='about:blank'></iframe>"
                   ).appendTo("body");
    }

    iframe_doc = $iframe[0].contentWindow || $iframe[0].contentDocument;
    if (iframe_doc.document) {
        iframe_doc = iframe_doc.document;
    }

    iframe_html = "<html><head></head><body><form method='POST' action='" +
                  url +"'>" +
                  "<input type=hidden name='" + input_name + "' value='" +
                  JSON.stringify(data) +"'/></form>" +
                  "</body></html>";

    iframe_doc.open();
    iframe_doc.write(iframe_html);
    $(iframe_doc).find('form').submit();
}

演示点击事件:

$('#someid').on('click', function() {
    ajax_download('/download.action', {'para1': 1, 'para2': 2}, 'dataname');
});
