Package: elinks
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: normal

If you try to download something from sourceforge with elinks, you will
see what I mean.

Sourceforge pages such as this (a small file):

  http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/emacs-cvs-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2?download

Use a meta refresh tag like this:

  <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5; 
URL=http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/emacs-cvs-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2";>

to kick off downloads.

elinks offers to download the file in response to this meta refresh tag,
however after one download is started, it offers to download it again,
and again ad-infinitum - it expects a refresh to cause a different page
to be loaded, but in this case it starts a file download instead.
