I'm really not too sure what pre-existing problem this actually solves.
Given that a server sets the correct mime-types for a given resource, we
know what "type" it is already.
Yes, since we don't want to set MIME-Types. I want to be able to set
what a file actually is. Is it a file which is supposed to be shown in
the browser? Or is it an "attachment" (refering to the content-disposition
setting)
Setting the Content-disposition on the client side creates an annoying
user
experience.
I don't think so. What would you rather have?
<download>
(Please right click and save target as)
or
<download>
If I want to open a link in a new tab, window or download, I'll do it
like I
have done for the last ten years—via a keyboard modifier or a contextual
menu.
No problem with what you want to have, but can't webmasters ALREADY set the
content-disposition? I just want to copy this functionality over to the
client
to prevent that you always have to use a scripting language server-side.
