Allow `createObjectURL` to retain filename from `File` (and similar) objects

What problem are you trying to solve?

We have a datastore that requires authentication to retrieve files (e.g. PDF, CSV, ZIP, PNG, or some Office suite file format) -- it has a file name, a content type, and data. We'd like to allow users to click a link (or button/...) and have the "file" corresponding to that data (which we currently retrieve in a Blob) open in their browser (or download depending on how the browser is feeling) and if at some point the browser decides to save the file (e.g. because the user asks to save a file, or because it doesn't have an internal handler) then we'd like it to favor our proposed filename instead of a blob id.

What solutions exist today?

1. We can construct a Blob or a File w/ a Blob and call createObjectURL with it.
2. We can create an anchor a with a#download with the href set the the url from createObjectURL such that users can click the anchor to get our suggested filename.
3. We can add an iframe containing our blob url

Fwiw, Microsoft had an msSaveBlob which included a defaultName field...

How would you solve it?

Change the specification for createObjectURL so that for objects that have a name (e.g. File), browsers should prefer that name over the blob when saving.

Commencez par lire la spécification de File API autour du point d’entrée createObjectURL ainsi que les définitions de File, Blob et object URLs. Déterminez comment un nom de fichier proposé devrait interagir avec le comportement d’enregistrement, puis mettez à jour la spécification pour définir cette préférence et ajoutez ou ajustez la couverture de conformité si la spécification identifie un emplacement de test pertinent.
