Weblink Download Limit not working (8.1.3 Linux)

Post by eordona »

I'm running 8.1.3 on Linux. The Weblink Download Limit does not seem to be working on web links.

Links that are created seem to allow unlimited downloads.

Can you please confirm and advise?

Thanks!

There is no problem with Weblink Download Limit. Maybe it was caused by the browser cache, you should re-open the web browser and use private mode.

After further analysis you are correct. Chrome APPEARS to download the file but it is really pulling it from the local download cache. Not seeing the same behavior in Safari. So in the end Chrome isn't even going out to the server multiple times. I think if you put Cache-Control: no-store in the http header responses, you could force the remote browsers to actually go to the server every time to alleviate this phenomenon, but factually you are correct, the server does deny at the requested limit. You know what I mean?

Thanks!!

OK, we will improve it by adding Cache Control header.
