OPT/2.8.4
Android 11, Pixel 3a, Dec 1 update.
When downloading a file, Opera Touch fetches the file twice - once to show the download menu - and once to download the actual file.
On sites that delete file after 1st download, this breaks it.
I suspect OT is doing this just to find out some meta data (like size of file) but of course this is what HTTP HEAD / HTTP OPTIONS is for, don't do a GET request! This kills the crab.
How to reproduce:
- Upload tiny file to 8mb.video
- Once it finishes, download with Opera Touch
Observed behavior:
Site says file has been deleted
Expected behavior (Chrome, etc):
Download works
Please use HTTP HEAD instead of GET! That's what its there for:
