Subj : Download ACS and "external" archive viewer

Hello g00r00!

In my Uploads file area, I have:

Download ACS: s20

When a new/guest user (s10) lists files in the Uploads area, he/she can not tag any file for download (this yields "File is not available." / prompt 212), which is correct.

For an archive type supported by the built-in archive viewer (ZIP, LHA/LZH, RAR), downloads (Ctrl+D) from within archive viewer are also correctly denied (no error message shown, though).

However, for an archive type *not* supported by the built-in archive viewer, the user can (V)iew the archive and then (D)ownload a file (option from prompt 304) by manually entering the archive member file name and then getting the file.

Would it be possible to ensure that the (D)ownload function of prompt 304 also respects the Download ACS of the file area?

(Kind of like for unvalidated and failed files, for which you fixed this earlier.)

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards
Bj”rn
