Unable to download files - onDownloadStart callback does not give contentDisposition and contentLength in callback

Environment

Technology	Version
Flutter version	2.10
Plugin version	5.3.2

Device information: Samsung Galaxy M31

Description

download file from url

Current behavior:
Not able to download file from given url as onDownloadStart returns only post url, but not contentDisposition and contentLength onDownloadStart: (controller, url)

Whereas in android native implementation you get all the required data in callback :
webview.setDownloadListener { url, userAgent, contentDisposition, mimetype, contentLength -> }

Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!

@ashank96 we are trying to download files with onDownloadStartRequest but that not working. maybe i can't find file where actually it's downloaded so can you let me know with this function where file will store and can you share your code for download files from webView ?
