Laravel download file from S3 route (not open in browser) - php

Question

I have the following route that will load a file from the given URL, I need this to actually download the file (mp4, jpg, pdf) rather than open in the browsers in built viewer.
// Download from CDN Route
Route::get('cdn/{url}', function($url)
{
return Redirect::away($url);
})->where('url', '(.*)');
All files are stored externally so apparently Resource::download() wouldn't actually work.
All I have available to me is the Amazon URL: https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/folder/filename.pdf
Any suggestions on how to force the browser to download the file from S3?

Answer 1

In my case simple anchor link is downloading the file ...
file name

Answer 2

Try this code.
Update composer with flysystem
$path = 'https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/folder/filename.pdf';
if(Storage::disk('s3')->has($path)){
$data = Storage::disk('s3')->get($path);
$getMimeType = Storage::disk('s3')->getMimetype($path);
$newFileName = 'filename.pdf';
$headers = [
'Content-type' => $getMimeType,
'Content-Disposition'=>sprintf('attachment; filename="%s"', $newFileName)
];
return Response::make($data, 200, $headers);
}

How can we download a video with an external link from another server. It's not s3. It's a normal server, files are there, but it doesn't work. I have written this code
$filename = $video->video_id;
$tempFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), $filename);
// dd($tempFile);
copy($video->path, $tempFile);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = ".$filename);
header("X-Accel-Redirect: ".$filename);
return response()->download($tempFile, $filename);
