module Athena::Framework::HeaderUtils #

Includes various HTTP header utility methods.

Class methods#

.make_disposition(disposition : ATH::BinaryFileResponse::ContentDisposition, filename : String, fallback_filename : String | Nil = nil) : String#

Generates a HTTP content-disposition header value with the provided disposition and filename.

If filename contains non ASCII characters, a sanitized version will be used as part of the filename directive, while an encoded version of it will be used as the filename* directive. The fallback_filename argument can be used to customize the filename directive value in this case.

ATH::HeaderUtils.make_disposition :attachment, "download.txt"         # => attachment; filename="download.txt"
ATH::HeaderUtils.make_disposition :attachment, "föö.html"             # => attachment; filename="f__.html"; filename*=utf-8''f%C3%B6%C3%B6.html
ATH::HeaderUtils.make_disposition :attachment, "föö.html", "foo.html" # => attachment; filename="foo.html"; filename*=utf-8''f%C3%B6%C3%B6.html

This method can be used to enable downloads of dynamically generated files. I.e. that can't be handled via a static file event listener.

ATH::Response.new(
  file_contents,
  headers: HTTP::Headers{"content-disposition" => ATH::HeaderUtils.make_disposition(:attachment, "foo.pdf")}
)

Tip

Checkout the Getting Started docs for an example of how to serve static files.
