Download stalls at start

Created attachment 303461 [details] journalctl -rb # just the lines from the top Hello! Since the upgrade from 3.16.0 to 3.16.1 Epiphany can't download any files from HTTP-Servers. It seems not be releated to WebKit2, because Midori-GTK3 still can download files. Steps to reproduce: 1. Visit a website with HTTP downloads: http://ftp.u-strasbg.fr/linux/distributions/archlinux/iso/2015.05.01/ or http://mirror.netcologne.de/archlinux/iso/2015.05.01/ 2. Click on link http://ftp.u-strasbg.fr/linux/distributions/archlinux/iso/2015.05.01/archlinux-2015.05.01-dual.iso or http://mirror.netcologne.de/archlinux/iso/2015.05.01/archlinux-2015.05.01-dual.iso 3. Downloaded is added to bottom bar with an somewhat realistic ETA, but progress remains at 0 %. "dmesg" doesn't show any interesting, but "journalctl -rb", I've attached the log. Other sources: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1529206#p1529206 Thanks for your work Peter
This is a regression in WebKitGTK+ 2.8.2, fixed in 2.8.3. Sorry about that. You'll want to downgrade until Arch gets 2.8.3. Midori isn't affected because it uses an obsolete version of WebKitGTK+.
Thanks you Michael! My own mistake! I missed to double check the dependencies of midori-gtk3, thought it uses already WebKit2 (webkit2gtk).
