Reported by gnehs...@gmail.com, Nov 3 2016

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

REPRODUCTION CASE

1.click the link, open a window and navigate to the URL that contains anything we want to display.
2.navigate the window to www.amazon.com, once the address bar changes navigate to the URL with the 204 response.

2.when the download page loads completely, navigate to the fake download URL.

The download spoofing part is a duplicate of  issue 649208 .

Not sure about the URL spoofing part. It feels WAI for me, but maybe we should do better in handling 204 response. I'm not an expert on this.

I understand, their underlying issue is the same: current navigation handler does not have the true initiator information if frame/tab target each other. We're working on it.

I'm not able to reproduce the URL spoofing. When I click the amazon link, it loads amazon.com with the proper title/url.  This is on 54.0.2840.90 linux.
