Class DownloadContentServlet

java.lang.Object
javax.servlet.GenericServlet
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.DownloadContentServlet
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig
public class DownloadContentServlet extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
Servlet responsible for streaming node content from the repo directly to the response stream. The appropriate mimetype is calculated based on filename extension.

The URL to the servlet should be generated thus: 

/alfresco/download/attach/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000/myfile.pdf
or 
/alfresco/download/direct/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000/myfile.pdf

The 'attach' or 'direct' element is used to indicate whether to display the stream directly in the browser or download it as a file attachment.

Since ACS 6.X, this Servlet redirects to GET /nodes/{nodeId}/content V1 REST API.
