"Network error" when downloading large images in Twitterbug #95

Open mileswwatkins opened 6 years ago

Recently had a bug report from the Music desk, where a large (~9 MB) image triggered a Network error when attempting download in Twitterbug.

downloadnetworkerror

This happened for her and two others on the Music desk, but when we tried using a different image (same photo, smaller size of ~200 KB) the tool and download worked perfectly. They were using current Chrome (v67) and Firefox (v61).

Probably also relevant to Quotable, since that uses the same tooling.

First one fails, second one works:
