Prompt file download with XMLHttpRequest

Question

I\'m aware that jQuery\'s ajax method cannot handle downloads, and I do not want to add a jQuery plugin to do this.

I want to know how to send POST data with XMLHttp

Answer 1

download: function(){
    var postData = new FormData();
		var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
		xhr.open('GET', downloadUrl, true);
		xhr.responseType = 'blob';
		xhr.onload = function (e) {
			var blob = xhr.response;
			this.saveOrOpenBlob(blob);
		}.bind(this)
		xhr.send(postData);
 }

saveOrOpenBlob: function(blob) {
		var assetRecord = this.getAssetRecord();
		var fileName = 'Test.mp4'
		var tempEl = document.createElement("a");
    	document.body.appendChild(tempEl);
    	tempEl.style = "display: none";
        url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        tempEl.href = url;
        tempEl.download = fileName;
        tempEl.click();
		window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
	},

Try this it is working for me.
