Does Server.downloadFile make two requests?

[d.healey]

This issue has always been there but I've decided I would like to solve it. However I find the server could difficult to navigate.

When I run Server.downloadFile, my server records it as two download attempts, if I paste the same URL into my browser it only records one download attempt - as it should.

Does HISE make two requests, like a head request before the GET request or something?

yeah and some servers get very picky about answering HISe when it does this.... which is a shame.

If I use CURL in HISE via a background task (runProcess) to download the file then it only records one download. So it is definitely an issue with Server.downloadFile()

With CURL I'm using -L which is to follow redirects, I think this might have something to do with it since WooCommerce is taking the given URL and forwarding it to the real time-limited URL.
