Description Gustavo Carneiro 2005-11-03 15:58:22 UTC 
1. Go to http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=347557
2. Click on the PDF
3. An empty window appears, and the file save/open dialog on top

I open or save the file, but then I have to close the blank window.
This problem happens frequently for me, and is my #1 annoyance about about
Epiphany :(

wget log

The wget log explains what happens.  First request:
[...]

Then a new request:

So the browser is fooled into thinking this is an HTML, then is redirected to a
PDF url.

also, empty window is opened each time I click some .zip (or any other downloadable type) in non-browser application.

may be redirects and type of content should be handled before window is created?
