jquery - AJAX response for file download is in encoded format. -

i create ajax phone call as

var formdata = new formdata(); formdata.append('name', 'john'); formdata.append('company', 'abc'); $.ajax({ url: url, data: formdata, processdata: false, contenttype: false, success: function(data){ window.location.href = data.url; // info not have url attribute. }, error: function(err){} });

here, should ideally excel file download response.

however,

success: function(data){ }

here data contains bunch of encoded values can see in browser console. how can download url here.

ajax meant used sending/retrieving data, info in success function.

you should create post ordinary form , create sure server setting right header.

<form method="post" action="/path/to/excel/file"> ... </form>

after form create post, , server supply info , header if browser not back upwards viewing of excel files download start.
