Bug#973683: some images blacklisted by Google Chrome safe browsing

[Andy Simpkins <andy@koipond.org.uk>]

Of cause firefox claims that the browser is working as intended and this is correct behavior (relying on the Google safe browsing API)
Google on the other hand don't provide a working, reliable method to resolve their proprietary API database issues.  
Perhaps it is time to push for the feture to be removed from firefox or carry a local patch because I struggle to see how we are going to get a usable solution other than replacing mirrors with our own dedicated CDN.

Hi,

For all they will know, Debian has been pwned :-/

Yeah. I tried hard to keep my previous mail in a civilized tone towards
the intellectual entities who decided to deduce the purity of Debian ISOs
from .exe files on the same server.
(Quotation marks in the air are a warning sign towards myself that i am
about to start a rant.)

The only mitigation i can imagine is to put warning signs on pages like
  https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/
which say something like:

- The browser warnings are known to be bogus. They appear because Google
  mistrusts especially our swedish mirrors.

- Please fulfill the (standard) request not to download by a web browser.
  See first paragraphs of https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ .

- If you have to use a web browser, you might be able to avoid the
  classification as malware by using a mirror server from the lower three
  quarters of
    https://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/


Have a nice day :)
