How would I be able to handle downloads using HttpResponse in Java? I made an HttpGet request to a specific site - the site returns the file to be downloaded. How can I hand

Answer 1

Open a stream and send the file:

try {
    FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream( _backupDirectory + filename );
    OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
    byte[] buffer = new byte[65536];
    int numRead;
    while ( ( numRead = is.read( buffer, 0, buffer.length ) ) != -1 ) {
        os.write( buffer, 0, numRead );
    }
    os.close();
    is.close();
}
    catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
    System.out.println( "File " + filename + " not found" );
}
