download file into memory from download link in selinum

Question

i have a button on target system page, when i click it download dialog appears and i can download it into filesystem. but i would like that when the download button is clicked not to save the file into disk, download file into memory so i can post it as email attachment.

i have found python solution but i can not convert it into java. and i think it is chrome specific which it dont want? and also downlink is not exposed.

Using Python Selenium to download a file in memory, not in disk

capabilities = DesiredCapabilities().CHROME

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--incognito")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-infobars")
chrome_options.add_argument("start-maximized")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")

prefs = {
    'profile.default_content_setting_values':
     {
        'automatic_downloads': 0
  },

      'profile.content_settings.exceptions':
    {
        'automatic_downloads': 0
    }
  }

chrome_options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)
capabilities.update(chrome_options.to_capabilities())

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver', options=chrome_options)

url_main = 'https://file-examples.com/index.php/sample-documents-download/sample-xls-download/'

driver.get(url_main)

elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="table-files"]//td/a')
for element in elements:
   if str(element.get_attribute("href")).endswith('.xls'):
     file_object = StringIO(element.get_attribute("href"))
      xls_file = file_object.read()
      df = pd.read_excel(xls_file)
      print(df.to_string(index=False))
