If set to true, the content will be forwarded to proxyURL even if the browser supports the saving of files locally.

The URL of the server side proxy which will stream the file to the end user. A proxy will be used when the browser is not capable of saving files locally. Such browsers are IE version 9 and lower and Safari. The developer is responsible for implementing the server-side proxy. The proxy will return the decoded file with the Content-Disposition header set to attachment; filename="<fileName.xlsx>".

The proxy will receive a POST request with the following parameters in the request body:

• contentType - The MIME type of the file.
• base64 - The base-64 encoded file content.
• fileName - The file name as requested by the caller.
