Hello everyone,I need to write a custom Web Script in order to download a file from the repository.I know that there are native services to do that, but I need to validate the document id through other back-end systems using remote.callHere what I've done so far in the cstdownload.get.js :var nodeid

Dear Cris,

You can use

var fileDownLoadUrl = file[0].downloadUrl;‍

If this does`nt work then in the ftl you can use

${file[0].downloadUrl}‍

Thanks & Regards

Hi Amarendra,
thanks for your reply.

But the solution you sent is not helping me.

Basically the following code:

var fileDownLoadUrl = file.downloadUrl;‍

just produce the service path to use to download the file (something like "/d/a/workspace/SpacesStore/eb0d2fa7-ff5f-440c-9f49-6edc4036b6ce/mypic.jpg"), and it could be used in the xml/html output (ie: cstdownload.get.xml.ftl) as link to the file download.

What I'm looking for is how to stream the file directly from the Web Script.

Thanks,
Cris

Take a look at enabling the remote object http://drquyong.com/myblog/?p=49 in the core repository.
