The 4 types of HTTP headers are: General, Client Request, Server Response and Entity headers, each performing their own function.
Is content-disposition mandatory?
Content-Disposition is an optional header and allows the sender to indicate a default archival disposition; a filename.
When to use content-disposition?
The HTTP Content-Disposition header indicates whether content should be displayed inline in the browser as a web page or part of a web page or downloaded as an attachment locally. In a multipart body, the header must be used on each subpart to provide information about its corresponding field.
What is Content-Type and content-disposition?
Content-Type tells the browser how to interpret the response, but Content-Disposition: attachment tells the browser to treat the response as a file, rather than trying to render it. But not ALL clients are web browsers, and not all web browsers are equal.
What is the difference between Content-Type and content encoding?
The Content-Type header differs from Content-Encoding in that Content-Encoding helps the recipient understand how to decode data to its original form. Note: This value may be ignored if browsers perform MIME sniffing (or content sniffing) on responses.
The Content-Disposition response header is an HTTP header field used to convey additional information about how to process the response payload, often indicating whether the content should be displayed inline in the browser, that it needs to be downloaded and saved locally, or simply providing a filename for download.
