I am working on a chat application using flask-socketIO. I am allowing user to send files which I store in firebase using the pyrebase4 module.
I am successfull in saving file to firebase and displaying according to the type of file.
When the file is not audio,video,image , I make a <a> tag with download attribute and pass the firebase file link.
I want the file to be downloaded on click on the link. But rather downloading it takes me to the file.
I have searched various questions stating how to make a downloadable link. but none of them is working and it still takes me to the file.

</html>I tried making a get request to the file and getting it's body but it gives the following error
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
I have tried no-cors but it returns opague response without body.
My main purpose is to download the js file on this link I want to know how I can make the link downloadable so that user can download the file on click.
Thanks in advance.
