How to set Headers in twilio mms

Question

I'm sending a message in twilio like so:

   const client = require('twilio')(
      process.env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID,
      process.env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN,
    );

app.post('/api/messages', (req, res) => {
  res.header('Content-Type', 'application/json');
  client.messages
    .create({
      from: process.env.TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER,
      to: '13105551212',
      body: req.body.message,
      mediaUrl: ['http://codesto.net/eadlapmesssaging.vcf'],
    })
    .then(() => {
      res.send({ success: true });
    })
    .catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
      res.send({ success: false });
    });
});

Since I'm sending a vcard I've read that I should set the "Content-Disposition". This is posted about here in the header. I can't find anywhere in the documentations where I would do that. I'm not even sure how to set the headers for a message. Any idea how I can do that?

Answer 1

the supported MIME types can be found here, Accepted Content Types for Media , you can set the MIME type returned by Express following along in this blog, Work with HTTP headers in Express and a similar process can be followed to set the Content-Disposition header.

I personally found the representations of vcard's to be fiddly over MMS across different mobile devices.

Please share your experience once you get everything set-up.
