Download not working
Last modified: 2009-02-18 18:27:29 UTC
Please describe the problem: Files supposed to be downloaded are opened in the browser instead, right-click+download linked file does noting. Steps to reproduce: 1. go to http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Downloads 2. try to download anything on that page by left-click 3. or try to donwload anything by right-click + Download Linked File Actual results: If you follow step 2. file opens in the browser, which is for tar archives just a mishmash of characters, if you follow step 3. nothing happens. Expected results: File starts downloading in the Downloads window. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I think this might be WebKit-gtk missing some features, probably bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16826 might be the one that prevents implementing this in Epiphany.
Let's dup this with http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570735, which has the ephy-side patch for downloads. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 570735 ***
