Well, you both are right.

Opening is downloading in the sense that we rely on the browser to interpret whether the file will be viewed in the browser, or downloaded...ie zip vs html file. Zip gets downloaded, html gets viewed. It is a download...just not the way we want it.

However, that's not the way it SHOULD be. For example, we can, in the mail application, download an html file based on the way the server sends the file to the client...forcing a download rather than a view (download in the sense that it places a file, and doesn't automatically view it). Because we can only open in the Briefcase, and not force a download (viewing only... relying on the browser), this is a bug.

Moved from enh, to bug.
