Description

Hi,
I’m using InAppBrowser to display a web application, in which, clicking a button, I am supposed to download and open a pdf.

The button once clicked triggers a POST; I am not able to “download the file” using the plugin though.

The server response is of type:
Content-Type application/pdf
Content-Disposition attachment;filename="guide.pdf"

Is there any smart way to be able to intercept the download of the file instead of opening the resulting file in the main webview (which will replace the entire web application)?

Thank you!
