Cannot download an image from Flickr through context menu

[Dave Morley]

STEPS:
1. Go to the photo scope
2. Tap on flickr
3. Tap on the first photo
4. Tap on 'View on flickr'
5. In flickr, long press the photo (on the center to not grab the prev/next arrows) to display the contextual menu
6. Select 'Save picture'
7. When the content-hub opens the list of options to save the picture select 'Gallery'
8. In the dialog, tap on 'Open'

The actual result was : Tapping on open doesn't actually show the image in the gallery.

Not sure if this is an issue in oxide, content-hub or the two combined, this test did pass previously though.

Issues lies in flikr image copyright so some days this will work others it won't. We are changing the test to not rely on flikr

This is not an oxide issue, and it’s not specific to RTM image #269, I can observe the same problem on the latest vivid-proposed (#180), which has oxide 1.5.5.

The issue is that the URL of the image as gotten by the context menu is https://s.yimg.com/pw/images/spaceball.gif, not the actual picture. This tiny spaceball GIF (43 bytes) is correctly downloaded, but not displayed in the gallery, probably because it’s a GIF.

OK, it seems to be a Flickr "protection" against downloading copyrighted material: spaceball.gif is a transparent GIF stretched over the actual photo, so the context menu gets this dummy instead of the right photo. Nothing we can (and should) do about.
