php - How to upload TAR.GZ file from Laravel-CodePudding

I am trying to send a tar.gz file from Laravel as a response, but it is not working properly. What is the error in the code? Here $filepath is the absolute path to the tar.gz file.

if(file_exists($filepath)) {
        $file = File::get($filepath);
        $response = Response::make($file, 200);
        $response->header('Content-Type', mime_content_type($filepath));
        $response->header('Content-Length', filesize($filepath));
        $response->header('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="sample.tar.gz"');

        return $response;
        
    }
    else {
        return $this->response->array(array('error' => 'Could not be downloaded, try again'));
    }

CodePudding user response：

I found a simpler approach using raw PHP which works perfectly.

if(file_exists($filepath)) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sample.tar.gz"');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filepath));
    flush(); 
    readfile($filepath);
    exit();
}
