Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site with links to PDF files
2. Choose save as on one of the links.
3. Try to open with Adobe Acrobat. It says file corrupt.
4. Enjoy and relax; possibly megabytes of data have been wasted as well as time.
5. I love open source but this...


Expected Results:  
Saved the original file and not prepend any header to it.
are you _sure_ this happens for _all_ PDF files? what's an example url?

I suspect this is due to a server with a broken implementation of HEAD. that
said, if it is, this is fixed in current nightly builds.
similiar bug is Bug 214406
