Downloads on dynamic federations

[calvellido]

Apparently downloads don't work properly on dynamic federations. Need to test it to check if it's a general DPMbox downloads bug, a problem in the way that server redirection response works, or if it's something related to the dynamic federations.

As stated by a DPM developer:

If I download from the UI twice the file

• The first time it works
• The second time it apparently requests a wrong url, failing the redirection
• If I wait 5 minutes and retry, then it works again once

Bug caught! Actually it's not a problem with the downloads but with the way clicks and selected items are treated.

When you click back on the browser a file is already selected, so if you double click there again the file is deselected and then try to download the selected file, as is no one the system redirects you to the server url. It's a very stupid bug caused by the way the double click is treated. For example if you always operate with the 'Download' button that bug never occurs.
