Hello,

Some time ago, a bug was brought to my attention about my 
curriculum
vitae failing to open when its hyperlink is clicked [1].

I tried a number of things to work around the issue, but the only 
thing
that worked was opening the link in a new tab. Note that the href
attribute is set to a valid resource and devtools does not pick up 
on
any sort of problems.

At first, I thought it was a browser-specific issue (and so did 
this
person [2] who's also hosting their website on sourcehut pages), 
but
this bug affects just about every browser out there, mobile and 
desktop.

Thanks in advance,

This is due to the "download" attribute on the link. It's rejected because
pages.sr.ht's Content-Security-Policy has "sandbox" without "allow-downloads".
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/sandbox

It's actually the same behavior with/without the "download" 
attribute. I've just removed it [1] so you can confirm.

Well, almost the same behavior; devtools shows a "cv.pdf" resource 
being requested in the "Network" tab, yet it never loads.

Works for me without the attr. Beware of the cache.

Oh, you were right, except now I'm starting to believe this indeed 
is browser-specific.

I tried Firefox (desktop and mobile) and Epiphany, both loaded it 
fine. However, qutebrowser with cache disabled still failed to 
load the resource.
