Okay, I didn't know that Webkit already had HTML5 support. I understand
know :).

The context menu doesn't work (that's why this report was filed in the
first place), and I just tried shift-click and it obviously doesn't work
either... Still stuck with downloading outside the browser using wget.

To sum up PDF as well as many other file types are (wrongly) opened
inside the browser, plus downloading through context menu or shift-click
doesn't work anymore (consequently there's no way to download those
files with Epiphany).

Cheers.
