Chrome Browser Version 42.0.2311.152 m (64-bit) - does not allow to view pdf on browser in protractor automated test

new version Chrome browser does not includes -Mine type - application/pdf(when run through protractor), which would allow me to view pdf on browser and test the url through protractor, but its automatically download and close the tab. If you go through manually open the chrome and click link it opens the pdf in next tab and dont download automatically.

Manually run chrome has following extension::

Chrome Automation Extension - Run by Protractor (MIME type - application/pdf extension is missing here which allow the browser to view pdf on browser on the chrome automation extension run by direct connect browser by protractor)

Perhaps if you don't care about the warning message when the test are running then this should work:

"desiredCapabilities": {
    "chromeOptions": {
      "excludeSwitches": [ "test-type" ]
    }
  }
