[Bug 1438046] Re: Can't download protected images

 

In the general case this is possible when downloading files,
unfortunately at the moment Oxide doesn't provide a way to access
cookies when using the "Save Image" context option in the web browser.
They do get provided when the request for a file comes via the
"downloadRequested" signal (so for example when clicking on a attachment
on gmail the download will work correctly). As I recall Chris mentioned
a desire to rework the context menu download stuff to happen via
"downloadRequested", instead of just providing a URL, which would solve
this issue.

Title:
  Can't download protected images

Bug description:
  In the webbrowser app I login to a site (https://slack.com) which has
  private image sharing.

  Under every image there is a link, named 'Open original' that links to
  the image itself (like https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T02A1MKNL-
  F046U9A6V/img_20150328_103844.jpg).

  But to see the image you've to login to the website.

  So, when you try to download it (long press -> save image) the browser
  calls the content hub, and indeed content hub saves
  img_20150328_103844.jpg in ~/Pictures, but the file is an .html file,
  and not the image, so the photo doesn't appear in the gallery app.

  The first thing IMO is to display an error if the file isn't valid,
  because it took me a while understand what was wrong with my dowload -
  it says 'Success' but then my photo isn't in the gallery.

  Then, there should be a way to download private resources from the web
