Re: [whatwg] a download feedback
Another use case: fixing Google's search results. They're currently annoyingly broken: save link as on a result link in Firefox offers a useless default filename of url.htm. The filename attribute would fix this: set the Content-Disposition filename without affecting the disposition type attachment vs. inline). For example: a href=/url?data=... filename=product manual.pdf. That would simply set a default Content-Disposition: filename field. Setting Content-Disposition: attachment should be an attribute orthogonal to the filename, eg. a download. The attachment vs. inline mode is an orthogonal concept to the default filename, and the download=filename design loses that orthogonality, which I believe is a serious flaw. This is also an example of why having separate view vs. download links is bad. Google search results shouldn't need separate download links to be able to set the filename, leaving save-as on the main result links broken. It should work properly with a single link. -- Glenn Maynard
