I need to give download excel files stored on server. But I am unable to find an example for download in ZF2. I am trying for the following code<\/p>\n

$response = new Response();\n$response->getHeaders()->addHeaders(array(\n    'Content-Type' => 'application\/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',\n    'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment;filename=\"forecast_template.xlsx\"',\n    'Cache-Control' => 'max-age=0',\n));\n$response->setContent(file_get_contents($xlsx_file_name));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
But it did not work. I tried setRawBody but that gave error for undefined method. Also I tried “echo $response”, But that just dump string output for headers + binary data.<\/p>\n

    Using MVC, you can start a file download by short-circuiting<\/code> the MvcEvent<\/code> (to do this, just return the Response<\/code> instance instead of a ViewModel<\/code>).<\/p>\n
    The following example snippet works for me:<\/p>\n
    use Zend\\Http\\Headers;\n\n(...)\n\n$response = $this->getEvent()->getResponse();\n$response->setHeaders(Headers::fromString(\"Content-Type: application\/octet-stream\\r\\nContent-Length: 9\\r\\nContent-Disposition: attachment; filename=\\\"blamoo.txt\\\"\"));\n\n$response->setContent('blablabla');\n\nreturn $response;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
