1. Login to SF instance
2. Go to People profile or manage data
3. Upload an HTML file to custom MDF object.
4. Save the file 
5. Download the uploaded HTML file
6. Verify that the uploaded file is different from the downloaded file and some javascript functions appear in the file footer.

This is because the JavaScript functions already exists in the original file, but they were removed when the file was uploaded since the script tag could contain malicious JavaScript. When downloading it, the JavaScript function is restored and visible. 

1. Before uploading the HTML file, remove the JavaScript and any calls to it to maintain a working HTML file.
2. Alternatively, the JavaScript can be removed after downloading the file.
