CORS

The file is downloaded by the user's browser, so you will need to add correct CORS when replying to the request:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Or:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: $ORIGIN

Where $ORIGIN is the Origin header of the request, i.e. flat.io or [domain].flat.io for private websites).
