Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
If Epiphany's cookies privacy option is set to "Only from sites you
visit" (the default) and you visit a site that uses cookies, then if you
right click on a link (to a resource on the same site) and select either
the "Download Link" or the "Save Link As..." option, then the HTTP GET
request sent to the server does not include either the "Cookie:" header
or the "Referer:" header.
Repeating the process with the cookies privacy option set to "Always
accept" causes the "Cookie:" header to be sent to the server, but not
the "Referer:" header.
Depending on the website in question one or both of the "Cookie:" and/or
"Referer:" header may be required to download the link correctly. This
may be two separate problems. Following a link normally (left click)
sends both headers.
The problems can be confirmed by using Wireshark to examine the HTTP
headers.
