Description
I would like to use the private upload module.
I have been able to successfully install and enable the module.
I have also successfully uploaded a jpeg and it acted as expected.
When logged in I could see the jpg, and when I logged out I get a "permission denied" error.
However, when I tried the same with our company's executable I get a "page not found" error.
This occurs whether I'm logged in or not. It tries to open a page, rather than the downloaded file.
If I remove the private checkbox it works perfectly.
Unfortunately then it is available when I am not logged in.
Which is what I am trying to avoid.
I listed this as a bug, but if it is a feature, can you suggest a way around it?
Thanks,
Karyn

Additional information:
Actually it looks like it is a size issue, rather than specific to an executable.
The file I am working with is over 200 MB.
The upload happens, and I have changed the server configuration to allow large uploads (for the site configurator)
so that is not the problem.
If I mark it as not private, it is accessible.

More testing/information.
Turns out it seems to be a naming issue.
If I took a completely different, much smaller executable and uploaded it, it was accessible as expected.
When I renamed that same (smaller) executable the name of our products executable it failed.
I then renamed it to a shorter version of the executable and the retrieval of the file still failed.
Finally I changed one character in the name, and it retrieval of the newly uploaded file worked as expected.
So, where is it "tripping" over the duplicate name?
In the database?
I checked the access and error logs and there was no report of an error.
Just the "page not found" error in Drupal itself.
thank you,
Karyn

I'm just closing this issue because it's old and no one else reports it.
