158580 - "Save as" should prepend comment and/or visible header (a la IE and/or google's cache)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 125729

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[stig hackvan]

In beos, it was possible to tag each downloaded file with it's point of origin.
 that was a feature of the filesystem and the local philosophy and I think it's
something to borrow elsewhere.

Microsoft's Internet exploder prepends a comment to downloaded web pages
indicating where they came from...  the comment looks like this:

<!-- saved from
url=(0135)http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.wadada.net/alwarda/eliot/BurntNorton.htm+round++corner+deception+thrush+garlic+sapphires&hl=en
-->

I think that's great, so far as it goes...  what i generally do with that
comment is convert it into a visible citation with a perl script...  I'd like
for mozilla (which i use increasingly now that it can save all the images along
with saved html) is the ability to choose (via preferences) between 

   1. the invisible IE-like comment-based origin tag 
      (please add a date stamp as well) 

   2. something more visible...  like google's cache headers...
      (this is also good advertizing for mozilla, i think)

   3. MOZILLA {C,SH}OULD BE ABLE TO DETECT AND EXPOSE (AS GOOGLE-ISH HEADERS) 
      THE COMMENT-BASED ORIGIN TAGS OF BOTH IE AND MOZILLA IN PAGES THAT DO 
      NOT MAKE THEM VISIBLE.

the invisible annotation should be the default...

and the ability to expose mirroring comments (in both saved pages and
email-forwarded "send page" attachments) should default to a semi-silent pop-up
menu option ("go to original site of this page")
