Mehdi, I have tried the zipping option its working fine but the requirement here is separately it should download, so Is it possible?

The alternative I would suggest is the latter part of my answer - can you change your API to take in a single docId and iterate over your API from your client for each docId? I have a method to download a single document also. Anyway, Thank you so much for your explanation but If you can provide some sample code for this multi doc download No Problem even it will work in one browser only , help me with this. Not sure why you feel calling the API one at a time for each docId in a loop would produce a different end result.

This will give you the multiple document download functionality - in a cross browser compatible way. In http, one request can only have one response. Also did you try your own solution with Firefox? MdAslam Yeah I think Mehdi is right. You can just use loop in frontend to download multiple files. Can you please share your frontend code?
