Hi @Mathieu_Breton :wave: Thank you for your feedback!

I just tried this, with a User model, it seems it works (using POST):

// In file `forest/user.js`, don't forget "download true".
 { name: 'Generate invoice', download: true },

// In a `routes/user.js`
router.post(
  '/actions/generate-invoice',
  permissionMiddlewareCreator.smartAction(),
  (req, res, next) => {
    let options = {
      root: __dirname + '/../public/',
      dotfiles: 'deny',
      headers: {
        'Access-Control-Expose-Headers': 'Content-Disposition',
        'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename="favicon.png"'
      }
    };

    let fileName = 'favicon.png';
    res.sendFile(fileName, options, (error) => {
      if (error) { next(error); }
    });
  });

:point_right: Could you share a simplified version of the code in your smart action definition and route? Maybe there is something missing.
