[Touch-packages] [Bug 1585774] Re: Cannot save.jpg from web page

[Bob Harvey]

>renaming them with a jpg extension
Yes, I did the same on windows

>So the issue really was the missing filename hint
Or, looking at it another way, the issue was really the browswer needing a file 
name hint to determine the file type, rather than using the file "magic".  

After all, every /other/ browser on every /other/ platform I have used
had worked out the files were jpegs, and treated them as such, without
needing a hint at all.

I've been using *nix since the days of BSD and even Xenix, and spent
year on Solaris.  None of those systems made assumption about file types
from the file extension.  I rather thought that was one of Windw's
weaknesses, rather than something to be adopted.

Anyroad, thanks for your time and I am sure you will think about all
this...

I am just glad I can use the new tablet to save and re-use images.

Title:
  Cannot save.jpg from web page

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
   Bear with me on this, it's a bit of a voyage.. There is his /thing/ I
  do when creating publicity for a web site, that works fine in Firefox,
  chrome, opera, Vivaldi, on a desktop; works fine in firefox, chrome,
  safari, and dolphin on IOS, and with internet or chrome on android..
  It doesn't work in our browser on he M10 tablet under OTA10.1

  1. Go to e.g. 
  http://www.geograph.org.uk/stamp.php?id=2612549
  (there are nearly 5 million photos, I chose a nice one for you to play with)

  2. Press 'get stamped image'
  you get an instruction to right-click and save as, and a watermarked image to 
do that to. 

  3. Our version of that is long-press, and download.
  so do that.

  what gets downloaded is not the.jpg but appears to be a fragment of
  html, or the url.

  That is /not/ what happens on any other browser on any other
  platform.. Elsewhere I get the.jpg
