Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the download behavior in iOS Chrome and Firefox, then compare it with Safari; done means the hex downloads correctly and Python files can be saved as .py files on iOS.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

But it does work in Safari.

Python files open in the same tab as text.

iOS doesn't offer a way o download a page into the device (so cannot save the Python file as a file.py in the filesystem)
