Comment 4 for bug 1475640

@Ian

I think it's healthy we finally disagree on something :-)

I sense I'm not going to convince you on this.

What irks me about the new behaviour is really this:

If, using a bash shell I do (where commandx is any command):

 $ commandx > /tmp/out
 $ cat /tmp/out

and I then do:

 $ commandx

I expect to get the same result as before to stdout. If I don't, then the behaviour -- for me anyway -- doesn't pass the test of least surprise.

''it did download the image data' -- I'm not sure this is the case. It will download the full image if it is 'small', but it will only partially download the image if it's big (it won't iterate over the full body).
