Comment #6 on issue 21595 by thoma...@chromium.org: download adds extension
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21595
Actually, I'd like to ship this to a scrub.
The current code goes out of it's way to add extensions based on mime
types. In
talking with Mark we both were wondering if this is really good. The
intent is to avoid
something that is foo.gif actually being a executable, etc, so we add
extensions, but
it seems like with post processing someone could force the reverse, foo.gif
could
end up running through winzip/etc. so again, they though they were
downloading an
image, but they end up sending something bad in.
Maybe we need to do something to message when we changed the extension to
help
make the user release before the click on the download and launch an app as
it could
now be something different then they thought when they started the download.
