Nginx Content disposion - Trim file name

3.4k views Asked by At

I will briefly tell my problem, I need to trim the first 14 characters (0-9 and -), when downloading a file, it is just about header Content-Disposition, how to achieve something like that?

I want the file to look like this:

1235467890123-FileName.txt

for such

FileName.txt

Config file:

upstream oxide_io {
    ip_hash;

    server 127.0.0.1:xxx;
    server 127.0.0.1:xxx;
    server 127.0.0.1:xxx;
}

server {
    listen 443      ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    server_name oxidepolska.pl;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/forum-error.log error;

    ssl ***

    proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_redirect off;

    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

    gzip ***

    location @oxide {
        proxy_pass http://oxide_io;
    }

    location ~ ^/assets/(.*) {
        root /var/www/forum/;
        try_files /build/public/$1 /public/$1 @oxide;
    }

    location /plugins/ {
        root /var/www/forum/build/public/;
        try_files $uri @oxide;
    }

    location ~ ^/public/uploads/files/(.*)$ {
        root /var/www/forum/public/uploads/files/;
        add_header Content-Disposition 'inline; filename="$1"';
    }

    location / {
       proxy_pass http://oxide_io;
    }

    error_page 502 503 /503.html;

    location = /503.html {
    root /var/www/forum/public/;
    }
}

server {
    if ($host = oxidepolska.pl) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name oxidepolska.pl;
}

Disclaimer: This answer is about modifying existing Content-Disposition header, which is not what required by OP.

map $upstream_http_content_disposition $content_disposition {
    default $upstream_http_content_disposition;
    '~^(.*filename="?)[-\d]{14}(.+?)("?$)' $1$2$3;
}

server {

    ...

    location @oxide {
        proxy_pass http://oxide_io;
        proxy_hide_header Content-Disposition;
        add_header Content-Disposition $content_disposition;
    }

    ...

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://oxide_io;
        proxy_hide_header Content-Disposition;
        add_header Content-Disposition $content_disposition;
    }

    ...

}

(assuming first 14 characters can be only 0-9 and '-')

As I finally understand, you are trying to get rid of timestamp prefix added to files uploaded on some forum? Here is the another config, manually adding Content-Disposition header:

map $uri $content_disposition {
    '~/\d{13}-([^/]+)$' 'attachment; filename="$1"';
}

server {

    ...

    location <uploaded_files_location> {
        add_header Content-Disposition $content_disposition;
    }

    ...

}

When requested file is not matching the pattern \d{13}- (13 digits and "-" sign before the rest of filename), $content_disposition variable evaluated as empty string, so Content-Disposition header is not added to response.
