The actual data of your files with content-disposition can be found in the response headers of the HTTP request. When a server sends a file with content-disposition, it includes an HTTP header with the filename and other meta-data about the file. The file data is then transmitted as the response body.
To access the response headers in a browser, you can open the browser's developer console and inspect the network requests. In some cases, the file may be downloaded automatically and saved to your default download folder.
If you are using command-line tools or HTTP libraries to make requests, you can retrieve the response headers and body programmatically. For example, in Python, you can use the requests library to make an HTTP request and access the response headers and body as follows:
import requests
url = 'https://example.com/myfile.txt'
response = requests.get(url)
filename = response.headers['Content-Disposition'].split('filename=')[1]
filedata = response.content
print(filename)
print(filedata)
This code retrieves the file from the given URL and extracts the filename and file data from the response headers and body, respectively. You can then manipulate and save the file data as needed.
