An unexpected side effect of our recent download to disk feature
is that it takes place on pdf files,
and I really don't want it to.
Here is the logic, when surfing the web.
If the http headers say the file that is coming is text,
it is loaded into memory and rendered.
You still have the option to save it to disk,
formatted or unformatted, but it doesn't go down that path automatically,
because it's most likely a web page that you just want to read.
I think a pdf file should be treated the same way, though it is not today,
because its content type is application/pdf.
I propose adding, somewhere near http.c line 1568,
the additional check for application/pdf, so it is treated like other
text/html files, like other web pages.
Passing the idea by you first, before I make the change.
