Download a file from backend via GET method #859

Open ml16685 opened 11 months ago

Hello,

There is the tutorial which describes how to upload a file to backend via POST method: https://oatpp.io/docs/features/upload-file/

Is there Oatpp API to do the reverse operation, i.e. to download the file from backend via GET method? Maybe there is API description or an example?

Thanks in advance.

I think that @ml16685 meant something different: Imagine a process generates a dynamic file. Now you want to provide a GET request for the user to access this file. How would you do that? The only option i see is to load the file into an oatpp::String and use createResponse or to implement a custom class implementing the Body abstract class. I think an option to take an fd or file path and instruct oatpp to stream the content would be nice.
