Bug ID: 195145
Summary: [WK2] It should be possible to follow links with
'download' attributes
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebKit2
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: david_quesada at apple.com
The HTML spec doesn't mandate that a user agent must download links with 'download' attributes. It says the decision to download or navigate to a hyperlink can be based on the user's preference. For links that have a 'download' attribute set, allowing web view to navigate (rather than download) isn't currently possible with the modern WebKit API because WebPageProxy::receivedNavigationPolicyDecision() makes the decision to convert any download-attribute-having navigation that the navigation delegate allowed into a download. It should be possible for clients to opt-out of this behavior and leave it entirely up to the navigation delegate whether the navigation action starts a navigation or a download.
