I am sending data to my server that creates a pdf file based from the request, which is being created fine but I cant get the file to be sent back to the client. I am using React to submit the formReviews: 2.  · Yes, the rest of a POST request can direct a browser to download a file. The file contents would be sent as the HTTP response, same as in the GET topfind247.cos: 1.  · In your request tab, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your request panel/box. Select Code. This will open Generate Code Snippents window. Copy the cURL code and save it in a text file. Share this with who you want to. They can then import the request from the text file. topfind247.cos: 3.

Download the sample data file and select it in the Runner also. Note that the sample collection contains a POST request which uses a path variable in the URL. This path variable is specified in each record in the data file. The request also uses a value variable in the body which is also pulled from the data file for each iteration. The script uses the request name in Postman as the filename for the export. It sounds like you're iterating over the same request. As Danny said, you'll need to edit topfind247.co to check for an existing file, and if so append the response.. Alternatively, if you want each response in a separate file, edit the Test script at the collection level so that the request name will be unique each.

I added the test script to my collection. It is works as you described. So there is no problem with the script and setup. If its base64 encoded, you can use Postman Visualizer to create a “web page” where you set the value of the topfind247.co = "yourBase64OctetStream" in your visualizer template, which should initiate a download. Granted, depending on what the file is, your operating system might not know how to open the file. Yes, the rest of a POST request can direct a browser to download a file. The file contents would be sent as the HTTP response, same as in the GET case.
