Description Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-09-23 18:35:25 UTC 
Compressed pages aren't decompressed when using the "Download link" context menu
item, e.g. go to:

http://patches.theflowerdays.com/d/pterm_colours_bold.diff

If you right click the link at the top, and select "Download link", the file is
not decompressed (It uses Content-Encoding: gzip).

Galeon uses nsIExternalHelperAppService::ApplyDecodingForExtension to determine
whether to use the NO_CONVERSION flag for the nsIWebPersist object.

I tried to download the file and ended up with a .diff file, wich seems normal
to me.

Perhaps I'm not understanding this bug but it seems to work for me on Ep 1.8.2
under Breezy
Comment 2 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-10-11 15:23:40 UTC 
Ahh, but what are the contents of the .diff file, for me they are binary junk
(i.e a gzipped file)
Comment 3 Lionel Dricot 2005-10-11 16:00:37 UTC 
For me it looks like a normal ascii diff.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2005-10-11 16:09:16 UTC 
I can repro this here, ephy 1.8.2 with ff 1.0.x backend.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2006-02-03 13:27:47 UTC 
-> 1.10
Comment 6 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-02-22 15:55:15 UTC 
Confirming. Ephy CVS HEAD on gnome 2.13
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2006-04-10 19:04:55 UTC 
Someone needs to port the galeon bits to ephy here.
Comment 8 Josselin Mouette 2008-01-10 12:43:14 UTC 
Confirming with epiphany 2.20.2 with libxul 1.8.1.11, see http://bugs.debian.org/459365 which is perfectly reproducible. Firefox isn’t affected.
Comment 9 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-07 03:40:22 UTC 
The file mentioned in debian 459365 does not trigger the problem for me on Epiphany 3.4.
