Re: [request] "Download" Event for HTMLAnchorElement

Allowing users to save/download a runtime-generated file with the use of
object URLs and the anchor download attribute is the only viable way of
doing things at the moment. Bouncing the file through a server isn't
acceptable for web applications that are supposed to act like native apps.

Ideally, the File API would provide a way for users to save a file, and I'm
surprised this is still an issue. Writing a file to a user selected
location is no less secure than allowing a user to download a file with an
anchor.
