Feature request: download files

[adamblake]

I have an API that returns files for some of the endpoints. I like to use Posting when I am messing around with it and trying out new ways to do things. I didn't see an easy way of writing the response to file, so I have been using a Post-response script that looks like this:

def on_response(response, posting) -> None:
    content_disposition = response.headers.get("Content-Disposition")
    if content_disposition and "attachment" in content_disposition:
        import re
        from pathlib import Path

        # Extract filename from Content-Disposition
        match = re.search(r'filename="?(?P<filename>[^"]+)"?', content_disposition)
        filename = match.group("filename") if match else "downloaded_file"

        # Ensure filename is safe enough
        filename = Path(filename).name

        # Set download directory
        download_dir = Path.cwd() / ".downloads"
        download_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

        # Write content to file
        file_path = download_dir / filename
        file_path.write_bytes(response.content)

It's obviously not robust enough for a production-ready feature, but it works for now. I would prefer if the app had a feature that did something like this that I could turn on in the options, or something like that.
