How to let "normal" clients download a paged resource completely? #6

Closed dnauck closed 9 years ago

dnauck commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to let normal clients (like Chrome, Firefox, IE) to download a paged resource?

In my .NET implementation if also a hard limit of the max page size like your ruby gem. E.g. the max page size is 1000 but we have 170000 items in the resource.

But when a normal browser access the resource it is not able to download the complete resource, only the max page size.

Any ideas on how to fix this or work around?

In the Ruby gem you could pass in Float::INFINITY for the max_range_size argument of paginate. Maybe you could modify the .NET to accept a similar thing.

Then you'll want to be careful that you don't accidentally request all the items in your front end code, but it will remove the download limit.
