Description Dirk.R.Gently 2008-01-22 14:01:42 UTC 
This is a just an enhancement but I think it would be a good thing to add - for those of us that forget where we downloaded files from.  If the http:// information could be added to the file this would be enormously helpful.
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2008-01-22 15:01:09 UTC 
Where exactly should this information be put? How would you access it?
Comment 2 Dirk.R.Gently 2008-01-24 10:11:17 UTC 
Could the information be added to the Notes section in left-click > Properties > Notes Tab  dialog?

Supposedly webkit has support for this already:

./Source/WebKit2/Shared/Downloads/soup/DownloadSoup.cpp:        g_file_info_set_attribute_string(info.get(), "metadata::download-uri", response.url().string().utf8().data());

But it doesn't seem to be working here:

gvfs-info -a "metadata::*" ~/Downloads/*

shows nothing.
Comment 5 Carlos Garcia Campos 2014-01-08 19:43:56 UTC 
$ gvfs-info -a "metadata::*" /tmp/attachment.cgi\?id\=264721 
atributos:
  metadata::download-uri: https://bug674291.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=264721

Works for me. I'll add a unit test in WebKit in any case to make sure.

Btw, we will also include the user.xdg.origin.url extended attribute soon, see bug:
