django output pdf problem

[张永强]

In my program, I want to generate a pdf and output to the browser.

the server end code is:

response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf')

response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="' + orderNumber + '.pdf"'

response.write(pdf)

return response

In the code, the type of pdf is 'str'

the ajax code is:

$.ajax({

    type:'POST',

    url:'/orderplace/',

    data:{provider:provider, providerId:providerId, orderNumber:orderNumber},

    success:function(resultData) {

          ;

    }

});

when i click the relevent button, the network condition is:

but i don't get the browser's “Save as...” dialogue as the django document said.

the next time, I use the original code snippet in the document as the views of /orderplace/ request, but still can't get the "Save as..." dialogue

where the problem is ??

You cannot download files with AJAX. Make a regular request.

In short, you can't do it over simple Ajax, but you can emulate it.
