Hello,
I just configured my app with SSL and i see that i have problem with downloading files. On my config i have this:

  force_ssl: [rewrite_on: [:x_forwarded_proto], host: "myapp.com"],
  load_from_system_env: true,
  url: [host: "myapp.com"],
  http: [port: 80],
  force_ssl: [hsts: true],
  https: [    
    port: 443,
    otp_app: :myapp,
    keyfile: Path.expand("/etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/privkey.pem", __DIR__),
    certfile: Path.expand("/etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/cert.pem", __DIR__),
    cacertfile: Path.expand("/etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/fullchain.pem", __DIR__)
  ]

I have a route that I generate file and i send the file like this:

filename = "my/file/exists/here.pdf"
conn
|> put_resp_content_type("application/pdf", nil)
|> put_resp_header("content-transfer-encoding", "binary")
|> put_resp_header(
    "Content-Disposition",
    ~s[attachment; filename="file.pdf"]
)
|> send_file(200, filename)

The issue is because without SSL everything works fine, but when i added SSL in the route that i generate files, it doesn’t return the file.

Thanks

Any sample project in GitHub to speed things up for whoever would like to help you?

check that ssl is correct using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

NB you have multiple “force_ssl:” in your config you probably want:

force_ssl: [rewrite_on: [:x_forwarded_proto], hsts: true, host: “myapp.com”],

additionally you are using x_forwarded_proto which suggest you have something in front of the phoenix app? what is that? (nginx? etc?)
