How can I return a file from a service more efficiently in Go? For example, I receive a file like this
Here is an example that i use to receive a file from the service:
func (b *BenefitListHandler) UploadAppend(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
r.ParseMultipartForm(32 << 20)
file, handler, err := r.FormFile("benefitlistuploadfile")
if err != nil {
libhttp.EncodeErrorResponse(w, err, http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
defer file.Close()
f, err := os.OpenFile("./"+handler.Filename, os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0666)
if err != nil {
libhttp.EncodeErrorResponse(w, err, http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}
defer f.Close()
io.Copy(f, file)
go b.readFileAppend("./" + handler.Filename)
libhttp.EncodeOKResponse(w, true)}
After that, I am confused how I can send another file from that request like a binary, to improve the time and consumption.
after look information about the question i get that solution
to specify a browser that is a file i put that header to the response:
w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=NameOfFile")
after that i read the file with ioutil:
files, err := ioutil.ReadFile(result)
and at the end i use the http.ResponseWriter to write the []byte of the file to the response
w.Write(files)
