Bug Description

I'd like to be able to download files from the web.
For example:
- Click on a link containing a PDF.
- I expect the PDF to download / or a dialog pop up asking if I'd like to view it in the document viewer.

dependent on https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1282063 being fixed. For now just fake the signal and get all the mime-type handling and integration with content-hub working correctly until signal lands

This bug was fixed in the package webbrowser-app - 0.23+14.10.20140709-0ubuntu1

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.23+14.10.20140709-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Michael Sheldon ]
  * Add support for downloads via content-hub on non-desktop devices
    when it's either not possible to render a file within the browser
    itself or when a download is explicitly requested via the Content-
    Disposition header. (LP: #1198347)

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Remove a workaround for bug #1322622 that has been properly fixed in
    oxide. (LP: #1322622)
  * Re-enable the favicon support now that oxide supports it. (LP:
    #1259216)
