Selenium Chrome Headless download file

Question

I use headless chrome and selenium but i have problem in downloading file. Using options:

prefs = {"download.default_directory": dr,
         "download.prompt_for_download": False,
         "download.directory_upgrade": True,
         "safebrowsing.enabled": True
         }
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

If headless chrome not used then file download successfully but if headless works then nothing actions. How i can solve it?

It's not a bug it's a feature :

We most likely want to this to be something you need to either control or enable via DevTools to avoid letting random websites drop files on your disk just because you're running in headless mode.
