Creating a download link to IIIF resource

Opened this issue 6 years ago · 1 comments

I need to create a link that downloads the image coming out of RIIIF. I've tried doing the html5 download attribute, but Firefox requires that the http content-disposition header to be set to 'attachment' in order for this to work.

I'm not married to changing the RIIIF http headers in order to accomplish this, but it seems like the only option. Is there an accepted/easy way to accomplish this with RIIIF?

Thanks.

@travisLilleberg I don't think there is any way right now. Do any other IIIF servers have this implemented? If so, how are they doing it?
