"No importable file found" on URL returning an OBJ file

[EGI-ILM]

I am getting a "No importable file found." error and I believe that it is because the URL of the file has no extension (which is a common thing to do).

So my URL looks like:

https://data.com/models/92178219/download

Which returns

HTTP/2 200 OK
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="statue.obj"
Content-Length: 105907
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
...

I believe the error comes from the fact that the library attempts to get the extension of the file from the URL instead of from the filename indicated when downloading the actual data.

Yes, the file name must be in the url.

In the case of URLs, the current behaviour may not always work, as it is common that URLs do not include filenames, and some systems simply do not let you manipulate or provide the filename in the URL.

Maybe anchors provide a workaround to the issue, but would it be desirable to contemplate the filename attribute of Content-Disposition to identify the file format and, if this does not exist, then use the URL as a last resource? Maybe this can stay in the TO-DO list of improvements.

I'm very glad I found this issue as I was running into the same thing. I ended up using anchors as mentioned above and it's working fine now.

This library is awesome @kovacsv !!
