Answer 1

I had the same problem, I download the data uri in this way with Chrome:

var link = document.createElement("a");
link.download = dataItem.Filename;
link.href = data;
link.click();

But it does not work in Internet Explorer. I have found a library that works in Internet Explorer, https://github.com/rndme/download

The only issue for me is the dowload of files with longer MIME type like odt, docx, etc. For all the other kind of files it look great!
