pico-download plugin

I created a plugin to force files to download in PicoCMS.

I needed this because I wanted to PDFs to download and not just render in the browser.

Usage

Place your files in the content folder. Then replace the word content/ in the url with the word download/.

The download folder can be controlled in the plugin file. Default for downloading is content/.

Example

If you wanted to render the file in the browser:

http://localhost:8888/Pico/content/sub/page.md

Now with this plugin installed, you can force a download:

http://localhost:8888/Pico/download/sub/page.md

More info

I have added quite a few comments in the plugin so just take a look. It’s nothing new, just bringing different snippets together.

You can find the project here on Github.
