downloading - How to download unsupported files from the default browser?


When I try to download an SVG through the default browser (eg, by clicking on the image on a Wikipedia illustration - despite the .svg extension, that page is actually showing a PNG preview), the 'Downloads' says, 'Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone'.



I tried installing a SVG editor, thinking then the phone would figure out I could view SVGs, but no luck.


[ETA: Is it a mistake by this program that it hasn't registered itself on my phone as a .svg handler?]


Luckily Firefox displays SVGs natively, but still, there should be a way to download files even if the phone "thinks" it can't display it! Any ideas?


Running Froyo on Samsung Galaxy S.



Answer



Download Crutch registers itself as a handler for all files, letting you download any file type. Download it on a PC and save to your SD card, then install from your phone. Third-party sources must be enabled in Settings -> Applications.
