Description/Features

Adds a servlet so you can download attachments from a page without needing to know the ID. The page ID can change when content is ported using the export/backup and import functionality. The main use for this is where you need to link to content from external (e.g. using a resource from Confluence as the JIRA logo, or in a Builder theme config etc).

As an added bonus, I am also adding in the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse to the ServletActionContext so that the AttachmentViewEvent fired carries things like the IP address, browser user agent, URL, Session ID etc through. This is useful for the Statistical Analysis Plugin which opens up a wider range of reporting opportunities.

Example Usage

  1. Install via the plugin repository, or manually.
  2. Point to http://www.domain.dom/plugins/servlet/attachment-download/SPACEKEY/Page+Title/filename.ext

The SPACEKEY, Page Title and filename.ext all need changing as appropriate.
