Save As blocked when right-clicking links #407
Description
From Opera:
We checked the extension and it's working as expected. With it setting to block all request it's supposed to not show Save As dialog when right clicking on links. That's how this extension seems to be designed. IF you think it shouldn't block such requests please contact authors of this extensions on https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/issues and ask them for some workaround for this case.
Is there some reason I'm not aware of why it'd be a good idea to block Save As, or is this a bug?

Requests of type
otherare used by the "Save as..." feature to download what you want to save. Hence you need to allow requests of typeotherfor the hostname(s) from where the content is downloaded.Tanath commentedon Sep 4, 2014
I realize it currently falls into the other category. What reason might
there be for Save As to be blocked? Is there a risk? Why catch it at all?

HTTPSB doesn't block specifically "Save as". HTTPSB is a low-level utility to deal with net requests, it doesn't have knowledge of high-level features such as "Save as", and when it inspects net requests, there is no context information attached to the next requests for HTTPSB to know why these net requests are made.

So I guess there's no way to make an exception for it then?
