Bug#691324: gnome-shell: installing extensions from web site silently fails

[Alessio Gaeta]

Same here.

Looking at ~/.cache/gdm/session.log ([1]) I find 

JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError:
stream.output_stream.write_bytes is not a function
    JS ERROR: !!!     message = '"stream.output_stream.write_bytes is
not a function"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName =
'"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/extensionDownloader.js"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '87'
    JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '"gotExtensionZipFile([object
_private_Soup_SessionAsync],[object
_private_Soup_Message],"cpufreq at nodefourtytwo.net",[object
