Bug 324124

Summary:	Kget will not correctly download from many sites

Description David Baron 2013-08-27 16:04:28 UTC

When trying to download from such sites, download name will default to "downloader" or "download.html" or "download.php" or something of that ilk. The file may or may not be the target file, most often a small file corresponding to these names. Some larger? downloads may stall and not restart.

Site administrator tracked this to incopatability with apache/nginx X-file extension which delivers data directly to the socket. The CLI utility wget is apparently OK with this, kget is not.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to affected site
2. Choose download
3. Procede.
Actual Results:  
Described above.

Expected Results:  
Download of correctly named file in background.

Unfortunately, the recent one was subscription only, 
number of downloads done. There are numerous 
others, however. As soon as I encounter again, I will 
give you the link.

Here is one. Gives a bogus filename which I can correct in kget. In 
this case, the file downloaded correctly after that.

Using rekonq, site kicks about that but works. Follow clicks to 
download
