The Content-Disposition response header field is used in HTTP web responses to convey additional information about how to process a response payload. It can also be used to attach additional metadata such as a filename to the response. The full definition of the content-disposition header is outlined in RFC 6266.
The content-disposition header is added to a HTTP response when further descriptive information is desired to aid the receiver in interpreting the payload. Usage follows the following grammar:
content-disposition = "Content-Disposition" ":" disposition-type *( ";" disposition-parm )
disposition-type = "inline" | "attachment" | disp-ext-type ; case-insensitive disp-ext-type = token
disposition-parm = filename-parm | disp-ext-parm
filename-parm = "filename" "=" value | "filename*" "=" ext-value
disp-ext-parm = token "=" value | ext-token "=" ext-value ext-token =
