GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 576267
Epiphany offers to download link instead of viewing it
Last modified: 2009-03-25 15:14:24 UTC
When trying to open some links from one domain to another epiphany shows a "Save as" box. Urls: http://lhv.delfi.ee/news/index.cfm?id=1146314 http://lhv.delfi.ee/news/index.cfm?id=1146192
This may be caused by the fact that the server sends 2 different Content-Type headers: wget -S -O /dev/null 'http://lhv.delfi.ee/news/index.cfm?id=1146314' --2009-03-22 11:16:44-- http://lhv.delfi.ee/news/index.cfm?id=1146314 Resolving lhv.delfi.ee... 90.190.151.34 Connecting to lhv.delfi.ee|90.190.151.34|:80... connected.

May be related to the problems me and Xan were noticing where on some download sites Epiphany would try to download an HTML file that leads to the file. I'll take a look.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24750 I provided a patch there.
This is now fixed in WebKit: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/41975.
