java中的文件下载主要是通过返回文件流给客户端，通过设置返回头Content-Disposition和Contetn-Type。

返回头

Content-disposition

        Content-disposition是MIME协议的扩展，MIME协议指示MIME用户代理如何显示附加的文件。当Internet Explorer接收到头时，他会激活文件下载对话框，它的文件名框自动填充headers指定的文件名。

        服务器向浏览器发送文件时，如果是浏览器支持的文件类型，一般会默认使用浏览器打开，比如txt、jpg等。如果需要提示用户保存，就要利用Content-Disposition进行处理，

        Content-Disposition格式如下

Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="filename.xlsx;"

 需要注意的是：

        filename参数可以包含路径信息，但User-Agnet会忽略这些信息，只会把路径信息的最后一部分作为文件名。当响应类型为application/octet-stream情况下使用上面的头信息的话，那么就不能直接显示内容，而是弹出一个"文件下载"的对话框，接下来就是用户决定“打开”还是“保存”了。

Content-Type

        MediaType，即Internet Media Type，互联网媒体类型；也叫做MIME类型，在Http协议消息头中，使用Content-Type来表示具体请求中的媒体类型信息。

content-type和文件类型的对照信息如下：

注意：wps创建的word文件和office创建的word文件的解析得到的content-type类型是不一样的。 

 实现

常用文件与content-type转换

/**
  * 获取文件的 conetntType
  * String[] fileTypes = { ".txt", ".xls", ".xlsx", ".pdf", ".gif",".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".doc", ".docx" }
   */
    public static String getFileContentType(String fileType) {
        LOGGER.info("获取-文件的contentType.fileType:{}",fileType);
        String contentType = null;
        if(".txt".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "text/plain";
        }else if(".xls".equals(fileType) || ".xlsx".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "application/x-xls;charset=utf-8";
        }else if(".pdf".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "application/pdf";
        }else if(".gif".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "image/gif";
        }else if(".png".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "image/png";
        }else if(".jpeg".equals(fileType) || ".jpg".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "image/jpeg";
        }else if(".doc".equals(fileType) || ".docx".equals(fileType)) {
            contentType = "application/msword";
        }else {
            LOGGER.info("未定义的文件类型、无法确定contentType->fileType:{}",fileType);
        }
        
        LOGGER.info("获取-文件的contentType.fileType:{},contentType:{}",fileType,contentType);
        return contentType;
    }
}

文件名特殊字符处理

 public static String filterSpecialCharacter(String code) {
        String regex = "[`~!@#$%^&*()\\+\\=\\{}|:\"?><【】\\/r\\/n]";
        Pattern pa = Pattern.compile(regex);
        Matcher ma = pa.matcher(code);
        if (ma.find()) {
            code = ma.replaceAll("");
        }
        return code;
    }

文件流获取并返回

/**
     * 色湖之并返回文件流
     * @param response 请求返回实体
     * @param fileInputStream 文件流
     * @param fileName 文件名称
     * @return 结果
     */
    public static boolean returnStream(HttpServletResponse response, InputStream fileInputStream, String fileName){
        //设置浏览器响应格式
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MMddHHmmss");
        try{
            byte[] names = fileName.getBytes("UTF-8");
            String nameType = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("."));
            String filename = new String(names, "UTF-8").substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf(".")) + df.format(new Date()) + nameType;
            String contentType = ResponseFileDownLoadUtil.getFileContentType(nameType);
            response.setContentType(contentType);
            String headerValue = "attachment; filename=" + URLEncoder.encode(filename, "UTF-8");
            response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", ResponseFileDownLoadUtil.filterSpecialCharacter(headerValue));

            ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();
            response.reset();
            byte[] bytes = new byte[4096];
            int length = 0;
            while ((length = fileInputStream.read(bytes)) != -1){
                servletOutputStream.write(bytes, 0, length);
            }
            servletOutputStream.flush();
            return true;
        } catch (IOException e){
            LOGGER.error("文件下载转换流失败", e);
            fileInputStream.close();
        }

        return false;
    }
