Sumant Kuchipu 1 How to view file instead of downloading from Apex/VF?
Hi,
When a user clicks on a link, I called VisualForce and then call Apex that calls REST api to "box" and gets download link. I was able to download file from that link provided by BOX using REST api. (see download link below, I made it short since the download link is too big) .
and the file is directly downloading in the next page but I need to open the file instead of downloading.
This is download Link returned from Box api:
Is there any possiblities to convert that Download to open on new window or same window?
That would be great if anyone could give the clue, I apreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sumant

<apex:page controller="BoxController" action="{!fileOpen}">
</apex:page>
Apex Code:
public PageReference fileOpen(){
PageReference page;
try{
String bFileId=String.valueof(ApexPages.CurrentPage().getparameters().get('bFileID'));
String fileDownloadURL= fileFromBoxDownload(bFileId);// This api calls to Box api and get download URL, which is avove link
page = new PageReference(fileDownloadURL);
page.setRedirect(true);
} catch (Exception e){
System.debug(' **** File fileOpen Exceptions '+e);
}
return page;
}
Is there any possiblities to convert that Download to open on new window or same window?
