Comment #17 on issue 1315 by garen.parham: Decide whether to append extensions on extensionless downloads http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1315
Regardless of whether the user is on Linux, Windows or whatever-else-platform, they are going to encounter files with extensions. Those can either be used to help infer the type, depending on how much trust you want to place in them, or could at least be used as a starting point to test if they in fact meet a content-checked type that you get with some MIME magic lookup. In any case I don't you want to add an extension to a file that the user downloads, if that's what you were suggesting. If you do, that's an independent issue IMO. Here, we just want to figure out what "type" of file it is. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
