2021-09-16	Mark Good	I couldn't not get it to match on any filter expression. Tested my regex and it was valid. It just refused to change the content type. 🤷‍♂️
2021-04-03	Syamsuwar Andi Matto	Very useful Kudos!
2020-10-06	Wiley Sanders	For experts only, minimal documentation. Would be more useful if it had a feature to snoop headers and inform you of a download's mime type.
2020-07-08	Kyle Balling	This does not seem to modify content type when the content is displayed in an <embed> tag generated on the fly.
2020-02-02	miva YS	It works! >>> URL Filter: .* Original Type: application/octet-stream.; name=".\.pdf" Replacement Type: application/pdf Disposition: inline >>>
2019-10-14	Michael Stephenson	Any example how to use it? https://sd-app-01:8443/assystnet/attachments/Attachment?linkedObjectId=11587969&linkedObjectTypeId=46&attachmentId=1607746&attachmentDate=1570695459307 How convert it to png?
2019-06-29	Richard Yang	Only extension available that was able to render a PDF in browser. All I had to do was change octet-stream to pdf (mime-type) and attachment to inline.
2019-02-18	aparna shilpa	Extension works great but it is no longer supported by latest version of Chrome Browser (72). Any tips on getting this working ?
