Count downloads from content delivery network #1517

Description

@LaurentRDC

Following my comment here, we can get reliable download counts despite the existence of a CDN via a redirection scheme:

  • Add the Cache-Control: no-store header for the download endpoint;
    • Log the download statistic.
  • Return HTTP302 (Redirect) to another endpoint with the current CDN caching configuration.

I am happy to implement this feature.

One point that is unclear is whether this issue should be address after #1342, given that the server will necessarily process more download counts.
