Beaker: PDFs fail to download over dat://

Created on 16 Feb 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: beakerbrowser/beaker

Operation System: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
Beaker Version: v0.7.11 & v0.8

Currently when visiting a pdf in Beaker Browser via the http:// or file:// protocol, it downloads like expected. However, when you attempt to download it via the dat:// protocol, you receive the following error:

Download Error
The download of test.pdf was interrupted

This seems to be specific to PDFs. If I try to download other binary-like files, beaker handles it just fine. Here's an example pdf you can try it out on:

http test: https://test-pdf-webdesserts.hashbase.io/test.pdf
dat test: dat://test-pdf-webdesserts.hashbase.io/test.pdf

There's a bug in Electron with downloads over custom protocols. Paul submitted a PR a while ago and just added tests to that PR today, so hopefully that will help it get merged soon馃
