    workflow for file download

    Hi folks, I'm trying to get a workflow to download a file and not having much luck - has anyone had success with this and could help?

    Currently, I have a file attribute that allows the client to select a media item, I can open this and using SendFileAsync can see it start to download... but then when "return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed" gets called the request gets interupted and the file gets cancelled.

    Here's what I believe is the offending portion of code:

    var filepath = new FileInfo(filename);
    
    var response = _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Response;
    
    response.Clear();
    response.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + filepath.Name);
    response.Headers.Add("Content-Length", filepath.Length.ToString());
    response.Headers.Add("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
    new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider().Mappings.TryGetValue(filepath.Extension, out var contenttype);
    response.ContentType = contenttype ?? "application/octet-stream";
    response.SendFileAsync(filepath.FullName);
    response.CompleteAsync();
    
    return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed;
    

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Sorry this should be in Ubmraco Forms category - I can't seem to move it.

    Hi, I'm trying to do a similar thing. Using your code I do get the very same result as you. Download is being interrupted.

    Did you happen you find a solution?

    Regards
