[ENH] Add File Download Capability to SendHttpRequest Activity about elsa-core HOT 1 CLOSED

To implement the proposed enhancement for the SendHttpRequest activity in Elsa Workflows, you would need to follow these steps:

1. Extend the Activity: Create a new activity or extend the existing SendHttpRequest activity to include a content parser that can handle file downloads.

2. Detect Content Type: Implement logic to detect the content type of the response. If the content type indicates a file (e.g., application/octet-stream, application/pdf, etc.), proceed with handling the file download.

3. Process File Response: Develop the content parser to handle the file response. This may involve creating a temporary file on the server or streaming the content directly to a byte array.

4. Provide File Output: Modify the activity's output to include the downloaded file. This could be the path to the temporary file, a byte array, or a stream.

5. Update Documentation: Update the activity's documentation to reflect the new file handling capabilities and provide examples of how to use the new feature.

6. Test the Enhancement: Thoroughly test the new functionality to ensure it handles various file types and content disposition scenarios correctly.

7. Submit for Review: Once the enhancement is implemented and tested, submit it for review and integration into the Elsa Workflows project.

Please note that this is a high-level overview, and actual implementation details may vary based on the Elsa Workflows architecture and coding standards.
