GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 90980
Galeon doesn't check permissions upon file download
Last modified: 2005-02-06 20:32:37 UTC
When having the user specify a file name for download, Galeon doesn't check whether the user actually has permissions to create and/or write to this file. I tried downloading a file to a root-owned directory with 755 permissions on an ext3 partition. Galeon downloaded the file to the /tmp directory, then, after not being allowed to copy it to its destination, left it there with its mangled name, without any notification to me, or a message to the console. On a side note, I also don't like the Internet Explorerish way of downloading to /tmp first. I like it better if the actual file was directly, progressively written, like wget does it, this would also assist crash recovery and fix above bug as well. But perhaps that's just me.
