Hide load url for browser

[Javier Echaniz]

Hi, i`m new at orbeon and i have a form that download a file using xf:load and it works fine.

 <xf:load show="new" resource="http://localhost:8080/test/file.pdf"/>

I have noticed that the url is visible for the browser when i see the console output, and i would like to know if there is any way for dowloading the file without being visible the url to be safe from someone who could get the url. I've seen that with the fr:attachment, when you upload a file, the url that is stored seems to be encoded and i don`t know if it would be possible something similar to this.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Javier,

Would your URL serve the file if it was getting a POST instead of a GET? If so, in your model you can add a submission:

    <xf:submission
        id="my-submission"
        method="post"
        resource="http://localhost:8080/test/file.pdf"
        replace="all"/>

And then instead of your load, do:

    <xf:send event="DOMActivate" submission="my-submission"/>

You'll let me know if this works for your PDF.

Hi Alex, 

I get the error : "An error has occurred while processing the request.", I'm trying to configure the log to see some extra information but im not able to. If i make the post with postman the url return the file ok.

Thanks.

Javier, so you're saying that using a POST with an `<xf:submission>` ended up working?

[Echaniz]

Yes, they both work, using post and get with an <xf:submission>.

Thanks
