Documentation:MVC GetImage

With MVC, we have a controller GetImage that expects an object identity and an attribute with a Blob, like this: http://localhost:5052/Turnkey/GetImage?img=9!10-SomeImage

You may append yet another section with '-' that denotes a content-type header to send to the browser:

http://localhost:5052/Turnkey/GetImage?img=9!10-SomeImage-application%2Fpdf will use application/pdf as the content-type.

This controller may be used by Angular views as well if you want to construct a link to download a file or something without actually having the attribute loaded (if it is marked as delayed fetch).

Now you can return Text content this way too.

For security concerns, use the AllowMVCAccess tagged value on the attribute: this is default "ok" for byte[] (to be backward compatible) and default "notok" for strings - you can also set "okwhenauthenticated". No accessgroup evaluation is provided for GetImage.

See also The_ExternalId_explained to create a more long-lived link.
