Excel File Downloaded From Blob Opens in Protected View










1















I am trying to download an Excel file from my client using the file-saver JS library.



Currently, we hit an endpoint on the server to download the file. When it returns successfully, we use middle-ware to get the blob from the payload and then download it using FileSaver.saveAs(blob, fileName).



Previously, we used an iFrame to accomplish this.



Using the file-saver library, the source URL is blob:https://localhost:8080/...



Previously, there was no blob: text at the beginning of the URL, and it seems this text is causing the excel file to open in "Protected View".



We have the url "https://localhost:8080/*" in the list of Excel's trusted sources, and opening the file works fine using an iFrame.



Is there any way to remove the blob: prefix or make this download open regularly?
