angular http get, download file from spring mvc server

Question

I\'m using apache commons IOUtils copy method to send file from server to angularjs. This is my controller :

    @RequestMapping(value=\"/download\", method =          


        

Answer 1

I had to add responseType to HTTP get request :

$http({

        method: 'GET',
        url: '.../download',
        responseType: 'arraybuffer'
    })

    .success(function(data, status){

        console.log(data);
        var blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'image/jpg'});
        saveAs(blob, 'test.jpg');
    })

    .error(function(data, status){
        ....
    })

Now it is working.
