Permissions of newly created files

[guillaumebrunerie]

I couldn’t find any information on what permissions newly created files should have (note, I'm talking about Unix-like permissions, like rw-r--r--, not browser permissions).

On my computer (running Mac OS Catalina), it looks like creating new files gives them permission rw------- instead of the expected rw-r--r--. Is that intended? It is a bit problematic for my use case as I am creating files that are meant to be read back by a local web server, and the web server fails reading such files (it is presumably running as its own user). Writing over existing files does keep the existing rw-r--r-- permission, it’s only creating new files that is problematic.

Not sure if it is a spec or a browser issue, but I think the spec should at least say something about that.

You can easily reproduce it with the Text Editor example: https://googlechromelabs.github.io/text-editor/
