Webpositive does not create download folder

[vidrep]

hrev50700 x86_gcc2 Do a fresh install of Haiku on a HD partition. Open Webpositive->Window->Settings Download Folder: /boot/home/Downloads ->Apply Go To: ​http://download.haiku-os.org/nightly-images/x86_gcc2_hybrid/ Clicking on "anyboot" creates a zip file named "Downloads" in the home folder, instead of the expected behaviour of creating a directory called Downloads in which the downloaded anyboot image will go. (see attached screenshot1.png)

I cannot reproduce on latest HaikuWebKit 1.5.4 release. Ticket can probably be closed.

This issue has appeared again with HaikuWebKit 1.6.2 on hrev51369 x86_64 I have attached a screenshot.

Note that it created a 22KB zip named "Downloads" which is the same size as the file I clicked on (haikuwebkit_devel-1.6.2-1-x86_64.hpkg)

Installed hrev51346 x86_64

Confirmed working as expected using HaikuWebKit 1.6.0

pkgman update haikuwebkit -> 1.6.1

This issue is present on all clean installs I tried beginning with hrev51353

This is a different manifestation of #11632.

When a directory exists, we create files named -0, -1, ... inside it. When the download directory does not exist, we create a file with its name, then name-1, name-2, etc.

By the way, all these issues (also the other ones with about:blank which you reopened, and some more), are not really related to the haikuwebkit version. They are all tied to a race condition (two threads getting out of sync) somewhere in the HTTP code, which triggers more or less easily depending on your machine, network speed, and the webkit code which just happens to have different timings in each version. Hence the issue will come and disappear again until we can catch and fix the root problem.
