Description

Hi there,

We are using DVC in combination with S3. End users are allowed to download data snapshots directly from S3. However, the downloaded files have a unique identifier as file name instead of the original file name.

We were wondering if the DVC team has an interest in supporting the passing of metadata headers when uploading S3 objects (e.g. Content-Disposition, Content-Type)? If so, our team is willing to allocate developer time towards a PR.

Research direction

Start by locating DVC's S3 object upload path and reviewing how upload metadata is currently handled. Define the behavior for passing headers such as Content-Disposition and Content-Type, then verify that uploaded objects preserve the requested metadata for direct downloads.
