如何为AWS mp4目标链接创建下载链接

Question

Looking for a way to create a download link or button for an mp4 file hosted on AWS s3.

Here is an example link: http://s3.amazonaws.com/leccap.engin.umich.edu/media/qgf2iui48mu9ib6pbq5/1483652286-726-O-c23-12.mp4

If I have a basic anchor element, I can do this by clicking while holding the alt/option key. eg:

<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/file.mp4" download>Download</a>

I want to be able to do this with a single click, without having to hold down a key.

I've tried all sorts of Javascript tricks, but everything redirects me directly to the video page.

This article is relevant, but not helpful since the AWS account is not under my control.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
