Hi Arron,

I have tested a few of QR code readers, they behave in different ways 
but none is really good.
One possibility is that on download, they just reopen the page in Safari 
and you need to click download again.
Second possibility is the error, that you have mentioned.
The third is that nothing happens.

I have tested that the problem is not related to any JavaScript code. 
Even a simple link does the same thing, so this does not seem to be the 
problem of the CAT interface as such and I have no clue what we could do.
I have looked ad what HTTP_USER_AGENT reports and it looks like we 
should be able to tell Safari from these other browsers, then perhaps we 
should just display a message that things may not work as expected?

Any ideas?
Tomasz
