Chrome can't open PDF files downloaded from a particular website

Reported by vivekcha...@gmail.com, Jan 10 2018

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch chrome.
2. Go to kupdf.com and download any file.

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should open the file automatically or we should be able to open it manually from downloads.

What went wrong?
Chrome doesn't open the file and shows "can't open file" error.
I am easily able to open the files from file explorer.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.84  Channel: stable
OS Version: 4.4.2
Flash Version:
 
Chrome-20180110_195815.mkv

Tested the issue in Android and able to reproduce the issue. Similar behavior is observed since Chrome #59.0.3030.0

Steps Followed:
1. Launched the Chrome Browser.
2. Navigate to the URL: kupdf.com.
3. Select any PDF file and download.
4. Navigate to Chrome Menu >> Downloads.
5. Tap on the downloaded file.
6. Observed that the "Can't open file" alert.

However, PDF file opens by navigating to My Files in Device >> Downloads. Could be because of default PDF supported applications.

Chrome versions tested:
59.0.3030.0, 63.0.3239.111(Stable), 65.0.3317.0(Canary)

OS:
Android 7.0.0

Android Devices:
SM-J710F Build/NRD90M

This seems to be a Non-Regression issue as same behavior is seen since M59. Untriaged for further input's on this issue.

The downloaded file name contains two ".", so it is like kupdf.xxx.pdf, and that cause chrome unable to determine the file format.

Dup of 800734
Sir I have tried and successfully downloaded a file with two dots having the format as specified in your comment(qin...@chromium.org). I kindly request you to check and unmerge this issue.

the issue in #1 is not about downloading, but about opening the pdf file, right?

And that is the same issue as reported in 800734

The following revision refers to this bug:

Android Download: Handle application/download mime type.

When trying to open a file with mime type "application/download", we
currently use Android intent to open a file, where Android can't handle
it and will always throw exception. For users, there is no further action
available but seeing a "Can't open file." toast.

This CL adds logic to deduct and change the mime type based on file
extension so Android can use best effort to handle this mime type.
