Summary

createFileUrl and createFileDownloadUrl stripped the extension from the filename before building the URL, so both the inline "open in new tab" link and the download link for DAM files pointed at a path without a file extension (e.g. no .pdf). Browsers then saved a manually downloaded file without its extension. filename in both URL builders now uses file.name (with extension) instead of parse(file.name).name.

Follow-up (not part of this PR)

The same ticket also flagged that file upload validation only checks that the declared extension matches the declared mimetype (FileValidationService.validateFileMetadata), not that the actual file content matches the declared mimetype. Addressing that (e.g. via magic-number sniffing with the already-available file-type package) is intentionally left for a separate follow-up PR, since it needs its own design pass (e.g. legacy .doc/.xls/.ppt all sniff to the same generic container type and formats like plain text/CSV have no magic number to check).

Tests

Test plan

  • Upload a PDF in the DAM, add a link to it with "open in new window" and verify the resulting URL/download ends in .pdf
  • Same for a normal (non-new-window) download link
  • Verify an image asset link also downloads/opens with the correct extension

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • DAM file URLs and downloads now preserve complete filenames, including extensions.
    • Downloads use sanitized filenames for downloaded files.
    • Outdated filename segments now redirect permanently to the current canonical URL.
    • File uploads and renames reject unsupported extension characters to prevent broken URLs.
    • Invalid file hashes continue to be rejected with an appropriate error.

Walkthrough

DAM filename validation now rejects unsafe extensions. DAM URL generation preserves complete filenames and extensions. Download handlers redirect stale filenames to canonical URLs and set sanitized Content-Disposition filenames. Tests cover redirects, matching filenames, and hash mismatches.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 6 functions across 5 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Requires Human Review

Explanation

The PR changes the public DAM HTTP API. downloadFile and hashedFileUrl now return a permanent redirect for stale filename segments, and download responses now set a filename in Content-Disposition. The exported FilesService also changes the URLs returned by createFileUrl and createFileDownloadUrl to include the extension. The changed source adds about 52 non-test, non-documentation lines, which is below the 300-line limit. No deleted tests, migrations, CI workflow files, authentication, authorization, credential handling, or CodeRabbit configuration changes were found.

Resolution

Require human review of the public DAM API changes. Review redirect status and cache headers, Content-Disposition behavior, generated URL and hash compatibility, and affected consumers. Update the relevant API documentation and compatibility tests before merge.

Greptile Summary

The PR includes original DAM filenames in generated file URLs and adds those names to download response headers.

  • Uses the complete filename when producing inline and download URLs.
  • Adds sanitized Content-Disposition filenames to preview and public download responses.
  • Adds a patch changeset for @dextinity/cms-api.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR should not merge until generated filenames are URL-encoded and international Content-Disposition filenames are encoded without causing header errors.

Raw filename extensions can alter URL parsing and invalidate newly generated links, while non-Latin-1 extensions can make the new download header throw before the file is streamed.

Files Needing Attention: packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.service.ts, packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.controller.ts

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.service.ts Includes extensions in generated URLs and signatures, but fails to encode the filename as an individual URL path segment.
packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.controller.ts Adds download filenames to Content-Disposition, but the sanitizer does not safely encode all persisted Unicode filenames.
.changeset/dam-file-url-missing-extension.md Correctly records the intended DAM URL and download-header behavior as a patch release.

createFileUrl and createFileDownloadUrl stripped the extension from the
filename before building the URL, so both the inline "open in new tab"
link and the download link pointed at a path without a file extension
(e.g. no .pdf). Browsers then saved a manually downloaded file without
its extension.

DAM file URLs are HMAC-signed over (fileId, filename); filename is
otherwise only cosmetic. A URL generated before file extensions were
added to DAM file URLs (or before any future filename change) keeps
validating and serving the file under its old, non-canonical path,
since the hash was legitimately signed for that filename. Search
engines then treat the old and new URL as duplicate content and keep
indexing the old one.

Redirect permanently (301) to the current canonical URL whenever the
requested filename doesn't match the file's actual name.

slugifyFilename only ran the base filename through slugify(); the
extension was appended unchanged, and HasValidFilenameConstraint (used
for renames) never checked it either. The extension comes straight
from the client-supplied original filename, so it could end up with a
character like "?" or "#" that breaks the HMAC-signed DAM file URL for
that file once served under it (see the "Redirect stale DAM file URLs"
commit on this branch, which surfaced this on review since it's now
the first place the extension actually appears in a URL).

We should also include the extension in the preview URLs.

This could have been a follow-up PR.

ImagesService.createUrlTemplate still stripped the extension via parse(file.name).name, so resized/cropped DAM image URLs had the same missing-extension issue as the file URLs fixed earlier in this branch.

I meant the preview URLs in the files controller, e.g., https://github.com/vivid-planet/dextinity/blob/phsb2c-13924-dam-file-url-extension/packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.controller.ts#L200. Please revert for images, having no extensions is desired behavior (this allows us to serve newer image formats depending on the client's support).

Reverted in 1eb2f7b — images.service.ts is back to stripping the extension. And confirmed: createFileUrl/createFileDownloadUrl already build the preview-route filename (with extension) via the shared filename variable regardless of previewDamUrls, so files.controller.ts#L200 gets the extension too — no separate change needed there.

You're right. I thought about adding a redirect for the preview URLs as well, but this isn't necessary.

Follow-up (not part of this PR)

The same ticket also flagged that file upload validation only checks that the declared extension matches the declared mimetype (FileValidationService.validateFileMetadata), not that the actual file content matches the declared mimetype. Addressing that (e.g. via magic-number sniffing with the already-available file-type package) is intentionally left for a separate follow-up PR, since it needs its own design pass (e.g. legacy .doc/.xls/.ppt all sniff to the same generic container type and formats like plain text/CSV have no magic number to check).

I wouldn't do this (for now). (Also, it's not part of the task)
