this is a quick one I have implemented already in fuckn.es in the create angry memory button logic ... The New Download Attribute Hopefully soon, most updated browser will implement the download attribute in hypertext links (aka: <a> tag) The quick summary is this one: The download attribute, if present, indicates that the author intends the hyperlink to be used for downloading a resource. The attribute may have a value; the value, if any, specifies the default filename that the author recommends for use in labeling the resource in a local file system. And this is a basic example: click here to <a href="resource234.txt" download="license.txt" > download the license </a> What Is Download For Well, I am pretty sure you have read at least once in your life this kind of extra info beside a link: right click to download the content and "Save As ..." Moreover, I am pretty sure you have created at least once in your server a page ...

Update apparently I am more than late since datauri.com does similar stuff ... oh well, better two options than nothing, right? Thanks @mathias for the update. Right, you may think this is the most useless thing ever but actually embedded content is freaking cool and this is the reason I have created a truly simple page in 3site.eu/base64 . What The Hack Is That Nothing truly special, you choose a file, you get its representation in base64 compatible with inline data url. Best Available Option ... is converting data accordingly with your browser: who better than a browser can know how to understand inline data? Chrome or any other HTML5 Enabled Browser should work offline without problems, but if you are masochist and stubborn, it may fallback into server side encoding. Latter case may be dropped as soon as my cheap space in my cheap website will suffer too many requests so ... did I say already use a decent browser? And that's all folks :)
