Generating Download URL in the Unreal App

Get the Download URL of your Local File from your Unreal Engine App.

Before Using some of the features take a look at the document below covering how to send a pixel streaming command to E3DS System:
How to send a Pixel Streaming Response

Demo Video:

Blueprint Code:

In order to make this work, there is a pixel streaming command that the user needs to send.

CODE
{"cmd":"getDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","fileToDownload":" (Path to Local File with extension) "}

The Complete path Example will be something like:

CODE
{"cmd":"getDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","fileToDownload":"C:\Unreal\Content\image.png"}

For demonstration in this document this code is added to a widget blueprint and being executed on Event Construct:

Then the BindEventOnInputEvent, there will be a response message from the system which will contain the download URL. This response will be:

CODE
{"type":"takeDownloadUrlOfLocalFile","downloadURL":"(DownloadURL)","localFile":"(FilePathInLocal)"}

Here is how you can get the Download URL from it in Unreal:

You can open this URL by running another pixel stream command.
