            Bug ID: 335495
           Summary: kget fails to download JPG from webpage
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kget
           Version: 2.13.0
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kget at kde.org
          Reporter: misimonian at gmail.com

This bug report has been filed along with two others that refer specifically to
kget -rekonq interactions. This third bug is independent of rekonq given that I
have tried this with midori as well, with identical results.

I open a browser and navigate to gmail. I open an email with a jpg attachment.
I choose to view the attachment and the image comes up.

Whether I then drag the image to the kget download basket or right-click and
choose 'save' (in which case kget does not automatically pop up. I have to
actually click its icon in the icon bar), kget appears to download the file.
What it downloads, however, is a zero byte text file. I have tried this with
both rekonq and midori.

This does not happen with photos opened through a google image search. For
example, in both rekonq and midori, searching for 'dog' in 'images' and
right-clicking produces a normal download, though I still have to actually
click on the kget icon to see that the image has been captured.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kget on Mint 13
2. open a browser and navigate to gmail. open a file containing a jpg.
3. display the image, then attempt to download using kget
Actual Results:  
a text file of size 0 is generated

Expected Results:  
the photograph should be downloaded to the download location
