Try selecting ``send and download`` instead of ``send`` when you make the request. (the blue button)

https://www.getpostman.com/docs/responses

&quot;For binary response types, you should select ``Send and download`` which will let you save the response to your hard disk. You can then view it using the appropriate viewer.&quot;

You can Just save the response(pdf,doc etc..) by option on the right side of the response in postman

If the endpoint really is a direct link to the .xls file, you can try the following code to handle downloading:

    public static boolean download(final File output, final String source) {
        try {
            if (!output.createNewFile()) {
                throw new RuntimeException(&quot;Could not create new file!&quot;);
            }
            URL url = new URL(source);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            // Comment in the code in the following line in case the endpoint redirects instead of it being a direct link
            // connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
            connection.setRequestProperty(&quot;AUTH-KEY-PROPERTY-NAME&quot;, &quot;yourAuthKey&quot;);
            final ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(connection.getInputStream());
            final FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(output);
            fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, 1 &lt;&lt; 24);
            fos.close();
            return true;
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;
    }


All you *should* need to do is set the proper name for the auth token and fill it in.

Example usage:

    download(new File(&quot;C:\\output.xls&quot;), &quot;http://www.website.com/endpoint&quot;);

So since I&#39;ve been using Spring, if I were to write a service that had dependencies I would do the following:

    @Component
    public class SomeService {
         @Autowired private SomeOtherService someOtherService;
    }

I have now run across code that uses another convention to achieve the same goal

    @Component
    public class SomeService {
        private final SomeOtherService someOtherService;

        @Autowired
        public SomeService(SomeOtherService someOtherService){
            this.someOtherService = someOtherService;
        }
    }

Both of these methods will work, I understand that. But is there some advantage to using option B? To me, it creates more code in the class and unit test. (Having to write constructor and not being able to use @InjectMocks)

Is there something I&#39;m missing? Is there anything else the autowired constructor does besides add code to the unit tests? Is this a more preferred way to do dependency injection? 

Spring @Autowire on Properties vs Constructor

I have 10+ variables declared in Kotlin data class, and I would like to create an empty constructor for it like how we typically do in Java.

Data class:
````
data class Activity(
    var updated_on: String,
    var tags: List&lt;String&gt;,
    var description: String,
    var user_id: List&lt;Int&gt;,
    var status_id: Int,
    var title: String,
    var created_at: String,
    var data: HashMap&lt;*, *&gt;,
    var id: Int,
    var counts: LinkedTreeMap&lt;*, *&gt;,
)
````

Expected usage:

```
val activity =  Activity();
activity.title = &quot;New Computer&quot;
sendToServer(activity)
```


But the data class requires all arguments to be passed while creating a constructor. How can we simplify this like the Java POJO class constructor?

```
val activity =  Activity(null,null,null,null,null,&quot;New Computer&quot;,null,null,null,null)
sendToServer(activity)
```

I am having an API endpoint and Authorization token for that API.

The said API is for `.xls` report download, how can I view the downloaded `.xls` file using (if possible) *Postman*?

If it is not possible using *Postman* what are the other programmatic ways I should be looking for?

I&#39;ve got Postman (the one that doesn&#39;t open in Chrome) and I&#39;m trying to do a POST request using raw JSON.

In the Body tab I have &quot;raw&quot; selected and &quot;JSON (application/json)&quot; with this body:

    {
        &quot;foo&quot;: &quot;bar&quot;
    }

For the header I have 1, `Content-Type: application/json`


On the PHP side I&#39;m just doing `print_r($_POST);` for now, and I&#39;m getting an empty array.

If I use jQuery and do:

    $.ajax({
        &quot;type&quot;: &quot;POST&quot;,
        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;/rest/index.php&quot;,
        &quot;data&quot;: {
            &quot;foo&quot;: &quot;bar&quot;
        }
    }).done(function (d) {
        console.log(d);
    });

I&#39;m getting as expected:

    Array
    (
        [foo] =&gt; bar
    )

So why isn&#39;t it working with Postman?

Send POST data via raw JSON with Postman

Occasionally when troubleshooting bugs in production, it would be convenient to be able to hit our production REST server from my local dev environment. But i&#39;m concerned that adding localhost to allowed origins would be a security risk. Searches have yielded conflicting information. Are my concerns valid? Why or why not?

CORS - localhost as allowed origin in production

How do you add headers to your http request in Angular2 RC6?
I got following code:

    login(login: String, password: String): Observable&lt;boolean&gt; {
        console.log(login);
        console.log(password);
        this.cookieService.removeAll();
        let headers = new Headers();
        headers.append(&quot;Authorization&quot;,&quot;Basic YW5ndWxhci13YXJlaG91c2Utc2VydmljZXM6MTIzNDU2&quot;);
        this.http.post(AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINT + &quot;?grant_type=password&amp;scope=trust&amp;username=&quot; + login + &quot;&amp;password=&quot; + password, null, {headers: headers}).subscribe(response =&gt; {
          console.log(response);
        });
        //some return
    }

The problem is, that angular doesn&#39;t add Authorization header. Instead of that, in request I can see following additional headers:

    Access-Control-Request-Headers:authorization
    Access-Control-Request-Method:POST
and sdch added in Accept-Encoding:

    Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch

Unfornately there is no Authorization header. How should I add it correctly?


Whole request sent by my code looks as follow:

    OPTIONS /oauth/token?grant_type=password&amp;scope=trust&amp;username=asdf&amp;password=asdf HTTP/1.1
    Host: localhost:8080
    Connection: keep-alive
    Pragma: no-cache
    Cache-Control: no-cache
    Access-Control-Request-Method: POST
    Origin: http://localhost:3002
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36
    Access-Control-Request-Headers: authorization
    Accept: */*
    Referer: http://localhost:3002/login
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch
    Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8,pl;q=0.6

http post - how to send Authorization header?

I would like to format my Swagger API descriptions so that they are not simple paragraphs of text.  Preferably, I&#39;d like to add a small table to it.

I did not find an online reference about text formatting in Swagger descriptions.  If I launch the [Swagger Editor][1], and open the Instagram example (File \ Open Example \ Instagram.yaml), I see the the first description in the yaml file shows some formatting including a hyperlink and bounding box:

        [registered your client](http://instagram.com/developer/register/) it&#39;s easy
    to start requesting data from Instagram.

    ```
      https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id=CLIENT-ID
    ```

This looks like standard [Markdown][2], but when I add a table markdown to the samples description, the editor presents an error:

    |Col1|Col2|
    |------|------|
    |1|2|

    
    YAML Syntax Error
    End of the stream or a document separator is expected at line 36, column

What formatting does Swagger 2.0 allow?
Am I doing something wrong to render a table?

At times, I&#39;ve seen ``.pickle``, ``.pck``, ``.pcl``, and ``.db`` for files that contain Python pickles, but I am unsure what is the most common or best practice. I know that the latter three extensions are also used for other things.

The related question is: What MIME type is preferred for sending pickles between systems using a REST API?

I am using Spring MVC and this is my method:

                HttpServletResponse response) {
            
        if (!file.isEmpty()) {
            try {
                byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
                
                // Creating the directory to store file
                String rootPath = System.getProperty(&quot;catalina.home&quot;);
                File dir = new File(rootPath + File.separator + &quot;tmpFiles&quot;);
                if (!dir.exists()) {
                    dir.mkdirs();
                }
                
                // Create the file on server
                File serverFile = new File(dir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + name);
                BufferedOutputStream stream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(serverFile));
                stream.write(bytes);
                stream.close();
                
                System.out.println(&quot;Server File Location=&quot; + serverFile.getAbsolutePath());

I&#39;m trying to send an authenticated request with one click in postman.

So, I have request named &quot;Oauth&quot; and [I&#39;m using Tests to store the token][1] in a local variable.

    var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
    postman.setEnvironmentVariable(&quot;token&quot;, jsonData.access_token);

Is there a way to get an access token and send an authenticated request with one postman button click?
