Title:
Downloading blob: URLs fails
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If I attempt to download a blob: URL from a site, I am presented with
a dialog asking to choose an application as destination, and then
after choosing I am presented with "NetworkError 301: Protocol 'blob'
is unknown". (Replicate by, for example, going to
https://www.photoeditorsdk.com/, choosing "Try HTML5 editor", and then
hitting Export in the editor.) I think that the browser probably hands
off the URL in question to the download manager, which does not
understand blob URLs (and should not). The browser should handle this
itself; it is the only thing that can understand blob URLs, which may
be (and in this case was) dynamically generated and stored in memory
only. (If handing off to the download manager is still required, then
perhaps the browser should serialise to a file or a data URL and then
hand that URL to the DLM.)
