1. 框架不可知:Servlet下载文件作为附件

<!-- with JS -->
<a href="javascript:window.location='downloadServlet?param1=value1'">
    download
</a>

<!-- without JS -->
<a href="downloadServlet?param1=value1" >download</a>

2. Struts2框架:动作下载文件作为附件

<!-- with JS -->
<a href="javascript:window.location='downloadAction.action?param1=value1'">
    download
</a>

<!-- without JS -->
<a href="downloadAction.action?param1=value1" >download</a>

最好使用<s:a>标记，用OGNL指向用<s: URL >标记创建的URL:

<!-- without JS, with Struts tags: THE RIGHT WAY -->    
<s:url action="downloadAction.action" var="url">
    <s:param name="param1">value1</s:param>
</s:ulr>
<s:a href="%{url}" >download</s:a>

在上述情况下，您需要将Content-Disposition报头写入响应，指定文件需要下载(附件)，而不是由浏览器打开(内联)。您还需要指定Content Type，并且您可能希望添加文件名和长度(以帮助浏览器绘制一个真实的进度条)。

例如，当下载ZIP文件时:

response.setContentType("application/zip");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", 
                   "attachment; filename=\"name of my file.zip\"");
response.setHeader("Content-Length", myFile.length()); // or myByte[].length...

使用Struts2(除非您将Action用作Servlet，例如，用于直接流的黑客)，您不需要直接向响应写入任何内容;简单地使用Stream结果类型并在struts.xml中配置它就可以了

<result name="success" type="stream">
   <param name="contentType">application/zip</param>
   <param name="contentDisposition">attachment;filename="${fileName}"</param>
   <param name="contentLength">${fileLength}</param>
</result>

3.框架不可知(/ Struts2框架):Servlet(/Action)在浏览器中打开文件

如果你想在浏览器中打开文件，而不是下载它，Content-disposition必须设置为内联，但目标不能是当前窗口位置;你必须目标一个由javascript创建的新窗口，一个<iframe>在页面中，或者一个新窗口创建的飞行与"discussed" target="_blank":

<!-- From a parent page into an IFrame without javascript -->   
<a href="downloadServlet?param1=value1" target="iFrameName">
    download
</a>

<!-- In a new window without javascript --> 
<a href="downloadServlet?param1=value1" target="_blank">
    download
</a>

<!-- In a new window with javascript -->    
<a href="javascript:window.open('downloadServlet?param1=value1');" >
    download
</a>

HTML代码:

<button type="button" id="GetFile">Get File!</button>

jQuery代码:

$('#GetFile').on('click', function () {
    $.ajax({
        url: 'https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/172905/test.pdf',
        method: 'GET',
        xhrFields: {
            responseType: 'blob'
        },
        success: function (data) {
            var a = document.createElement('a');
            var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(data);
            a.href = url;
            a.download = 'myfile.pdf';
            document.body.append(a);
            a.click();
            a.remove();
            window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
        }
    });
});

在Rails中，我是这样做的:

function download_file(file_id) {
  let url       = '/files/' + file_id + '/download_file';
    $.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: url,
    processData: false,
    success: function (data) {
       window.location = url;
    },
    error: function (xhr) {
     console.log(' Error:  >>>> ' + JSON.stringify(xhr));
    }
   });
 }

诀窍在于窗户。位置的部分。控制器的方法如下所示:

# GET /files/{:id}/download_file/
def download_file
    send_file(@file.file,
          :disposition => 'attachment',
          :url_based_filename => false)
end

如果服务器在响应中写入文件(包括cookie) 你使用它们来确定文件下载是否开始)，简单地创建一个带有值的表单并提交它:

function ajaxPostDownload(url, data) {
    var $form;
    if (($form = $('#download_form')).length === 0) {
        $form = $("<form id='download_form'" + " style='display: none; width: 1px; height: 1px; position: absolute; top: -10000px' method='POST' action='" + url + "'></form>");
        $form.appendTo("body");
    }
    //Clear the form fields
    $form.html("");
    //Create new form fields
    Object.keys(data).forEach(function (key) {
        $form.append("<input type='hidden' name='" + key + "' value='" + data[key] + "'>");
    });
    //Submit the form post
    $form.submit();
}

用法:

ajaxPostDownload('/fileController/ExportFile', {
    DownloadToken: 'newDownloadToken',
    Name: $txtName.val(),
    Type: $txtType.val()
});

控制器方法:

[HttpPost]
public FileResult ExportFile(string DownloadToken, string Name, string Type)
{
    //Set DownloadToken Cookie.
    Response.SetCookie(new HttpCookie("downloadToken", DownloadToken)
    {
        Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1),
        Secure = false
    });

    using (var output = new MemoryStream())
    {
        //get File
        return File(output.ToArray(), "application/vnd.ms-excel", "NewFile.xls");
    }
}

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

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。
