Symptoms

Observed an unusual behaviour with blobs
 - create an asset with a blob attribute
 - create a Template which displays a link to download the associated blob media
 - the blobserver link doesn't work (IE downloads as "Satellite.pdf", Chrome displays a blank page or an icon)
 - even using "view this item" on the inspect page of the asset doesn't work (Note, this link is NOT clicked)

However, the same blob and the same code renders correctly following these steps:
 - edit/Save the same asset without modifying anything
 - click on "view this item" to display the blob, which appears correctly
 - render the Template to see the same blob, and it works
