Download file from external server

[kuzmenko-tgn]

I need to download file, that generated on the selectpdf.com platform. After generation of url I'm trying to use it with response.download - but it doesn't work for me - I'm getting error - "File not found"
response.redirect().toPath(url) - doesn't work for me in case of CORSE
using axios also doesnt work for me.
const res = await axios({ method: 'get', url: url, responseType: 'stream', }) res.data.pipe(response.response)

what the proper way to download files from external server?

Do this

import Route from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Route'
import axios from 'axios'
import fs from 'fs'
import Env from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Env'

Route.get('/upload', async ({response}) => {
  const resp = await axios(
    {
      method:'get', 
      url: `https://selectpdf.com/api/?key=${Env.get('SELECTPDF_API_KEY')}&url=http://www.extremeprogramming.org/rules/unittests.html`, 
      responseType: 'stream' 
    }   
  )
  resp.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('tmp/uploads/file.pdf'))
  response.header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=unittests.pdf'); // comment this if you want to display on the browser
  response.type('.pdf')
  return response.send(fs.readFileSync('tmp/uploads/file.pdf'))
})

I'm pretty sure that the Drive module can tackle this kind of use case, but i did not test with it...
This is very hardcoded example, but it works, you can download from selectpdf
