Description

When using mod_secdownload and a valid generated url times out, lighttpd returns error code 408.
This says the client to 'try again later', which is what eg. firefox does, requesting the same expired url 4 times and then giving error to user.

The proper error code here would be 403 as described at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html .

All you have to do is go into the src folder;

Edit file mod_secure_download.c

find the line 248 and replace
con->http_status = 408;
with
con->http_status = 403; // Changed by TLN 11.18.07

Fixed!

Sorry for the poor formatting, copying and pasting from PuTTy does that:

should be find line 248:

con->http_status = 408;

with

con->http_status = 403; // Changed by TLN 11.18.07
