247210 - "Save Image as" does try to reload the image from source, and fails b/o web site tricks - it should just write out what is in memory or cache.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120809

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[viignom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Check the given url. you cant save any image on that page, nor any image it
links to. all those are simple jpg images.

My theory is that "Save Image as" does try to reload the image from source,
somehow giving away this request to "be different" to the web site than the
original one. This web site apparently evaluates that and reacts with a stupid
yahoo redirect.

Mozilla should just write the meomory or cache object where the user wants it.
Alternatively it could have a copy/paste option for bitmap images, the way IE
does it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to given url (warning - some nudity)
2. click on any thumbnail (large image appears)
3. right-click on images, save it. You get a html file containg the yahoo home.

Actual Results:  
You get a html file containg the yahoo home.


Expected Results:  
You get a jpg file containing the image

this might be a duplicate of bug 241588. That one is about Firefox, though.I do
not know enough about Firefox to understand if they are actually related or not.
