120187 - bug list not recognized as HTML for saving

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96146

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

at URL, try to save page as... for file type, it lists "all files" only.

Prevents you from choosing between complete and original HTML.

Linux 2002011508.

This is because the page is multipart/x-mixed-replace, not text/html or anything
like that.

Adam, are there any provisions in webbrowserpersist for sanely dealing with such
pages?

Should the document's contentType property perhaps reflect the type of the final
part, not of the original stream?

Comment 2

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

It should reflect the current multipart part... Save As could be called in the
middle of the stream.

Similarly, I'm not able to save the first multipart part of a bug list ("please
wait"), but that might be due to all the cache problems.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Ben, are you getting the type from headers or from document.contentType?

Comment 5

[Adam Lock]

I don't know what persist can do about this - it just saves the URI you tell it
to save and doesn't process the content at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
