title: direct download from amazon s3 to client using laravel
body: <p>I'm trying to make my client side download a big file directly from amazon s3, without downloadin it through the server</p>
  
  <p>using this function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        $downloadUrl = $s3-&gt;getObjectUrl('dev-checkmate', '1.zip', '+5 minutes', array(
              'ResponseContentDisposition' =&gt; 'attachment; filename="test.zip"','Content-Type' =&gt; 'application/zip',
      ));
      return $downloadUrl;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives me back a valid url that i can paste to the browser and the download will start, how can i make my web page to start that download without redirecting to the user to the url? (i dont want him to get a blank page, i want him to stay in my web page)</p>
  
  <p>or maybe there is a differnet approach to make the user start the download from s3 directly?
  the reason i dont want to use my server to do that is the files are pretty big, and i have slow bandwidth on my server.</p>
