HttpURLConnection downloaded file name

Question

Is it possible to get the name of a file downloaded with HttpURLConnection?

URL url = new URL(\"http://somesite/getFile?id=12345\");
HttpURLConnection conn =         


        

Answer 1

The frank answer is - unless the web server returns the filename in the Content-Disposition header, there isn't a real filename. Maybe you could set it to the URI's last portion after the /, and before the query string.

Map m =conn.getHeaderFields();
if(m.get("Content-Disposition")!= null) {
 //do stuff
}
