Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This simple module will provide a way to alter all file download paths slighty to avoid some file caching systems to prevent blocking access to new file versions. This module will add a checkbox to file field configuration page.

Use case

Some aggressive file caching may cache files based on the filename, failing to refresh the file when it is being updated in Drupal filesystem. This may happen when users are allowed to overwrite existing files with new versions instead of adding new files with new names (new version of file.pdf becomes file_0.pdf).

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See:
