Not if you configure your browser correctly? Why would you allow random sites to save files without even prompting you for it?
- TonyTrapp 3y agoBecause it's the regrettable default these days and 90% of people probably don't know how to change it. Convenience beats security, again.

- lucb1e 3y agoBecause I don't want the file dialog asking me to manually choose save it or cancel the download... Chrome iirc popularised automatic downloading for all file types but I'm using Firefox. What browser do you use that has a "force inline viewing of downloads rather than downloading them" option? I'd like that Edit: wait, this server doesn't actually send the content-disposition:attachment header. Why doesn't Firefox download this to /tmp/mozilla_${USER}0 and open the default viewer as it does for other files that aren't downloads?!
