Hi everyone.
I was working on the ability to download Jira Cloud attachments using JS and, unfortunately, faced issues with the returned data.
Response text contains this:
After I save file on the disc it messages me:
When I try to get this file using the address line (standard browser downloading) it returns me file with no issues, but here is the difference that I noticed:
The difference is about 20Kb. It’s obviously different bunches of data, but unfortunately, I cannot tell why, because I’m using the same endpoint.
I will appreciate any ideas or help.
Details/example:
Using API endpoint: https://myinstance.atlassian.net/secure/attachment/10000/test.docx
function saveFile(blob, filename) {
if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, filename);
} else {
const a = document.createElement('a');
document.body.appendChild(a);
const url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.href = url;
a.download = filename;
a.click();
setTimeout(() => {
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
document.body.removeChild(a);
}, 0)
}
}
AP.request({
url: path,
success: (responseText) => {
const blob = new Blob([responseText]);
saveFile(blob, 'test.docx');
},
error: () => {},
});
