#152In Chrome, you can just do as the author says, right click and "Save Image As". Then just go to the folder where it is being downloaded, and copy/paste the file "lisa.jpeg.crdownload" to "lisa.jpeg.crdownload copy". Rename to "lisa.jpeg" and cancel the download. You now have the image. What's interesting is that you ARE actually downloading this image. It's just that they don't terminate the connection.
We have a security proxy at work that gives you the bits, but then holds the connection open while it does a scan, then resets the connection if it doesn't like something inside. Both Chrome and Firefox [haven't tried IE/Edge, but I assume that they'll do something that the proxy vendor would want] infer [or are told?] that the connection broke and delete the interim file. Unfortunately, with zip files, the header is…
That's not how these proxies usually work. They only give you enough bytes so the browser doesn't feel stuck while downloading everything and scanning it. The download then suddenly continues at 100 or even 1000 Mbit/s.

I did something similar on Firefox. But the image wasn't completely downloaded. Half of it was green.

Indeed that's what I've experienced in the past. But I'm telling you this, for sure, based on my experience downloading a 200M tensorflow wheel the other day.

#155I was about to "Save as..." when suddenly it struck me that this would be an incredible bait to spread a virus.
An image virus? Please do elaborate.

Re: You can't download this image
#158There's another way to achieve this in a more malicious way. Granted I haven't tried it in years, but it was possible back in 2017 when I tested it. The idea is to fake the image that's being displayed in the IMG element by forcing it to show a `background-image` using `height: 0;` and `padding-top`. In theory, you could make an IMG element show a photo of puppies and if the person chose to Right-click > Save Image A…
Not very new, the technique's probably been around since the 2000's... e.g. you can't right click, save as on the web version of Instagram because all the images are background-images attached to DIVs. In the "old days" there'd be a 1x1 transparent GIF above the image, so any downloader would download that instead.
What you and I describe isn't new, except you're talking about the use with DIV elements which don't have a "Save image as" menu item on right-click.
IMO, browsers should remove `background-image` support from IMG elements for that reason.

Too late. You already download an image into your cache when you view it.
Re: You can't download this image
#160if I open the image on a new tab, after 1.5 minutes the "content download" was ready. Also, had no problem right clicking it and hitting copy image.
