'Postman - File name from "Send and Download"

In Postman, how can I control the name of the file that is downloaded from using the "Send and Download" option? It is always "response" but I want it to be the actual name of the file that is sent over.

Response is not your fault. This issue is being actively worked on. Currently, it will not respect your headers in the response.

I just looked this up in Google and it seems they still haven't added this option in Postman.

Here's the Github issue, and it's last updated 4 days ago.

Postman has resolved this issue; by modifying the 'Content-Disposition' response header in your server you can control the name of the downloaded file.

Sample rails code:

def show
  if request.headers['Accept'] == 'application/pdf'
    send_data @document.read_file(:pdf)
    # response.headers['Content-Disposition] == "attachment" # send_data sets this initially
    response.headers['Content-Disposition'] += '; filename="document.pdf"'
  else
    respond_with @document, params
  end
end
