PDC supports only clean URLs?

Issue Summary

When viewing the PDC Reports page, if I click "Details" for a file that has downloads, it always gives me a "404 - Not Found" page. The URL behind "Details" is like: http://thing.place.net/admin/reports/pubdlcnt/counter?file=my-file.zip&m... and it never works for any file.

P.S.: I want to say "thank you" for writing this module, it is proving quite useful.

Title:

Details page not found (404)

» PDC using only direct links?

Sorry, I am not totally sure if this is one issue or two, but I have also noticed that clicking on the file names on the Reports page returns 404. The reason in this case is that the URLs PDC is presenting are direct links, not the "?q="-style indirect links that I have to use on my site. I don't know if the issue I first reported is part of the same problem or not.

It sounds like you are not using clean URLs ?
Maybe that's the cause of this issue. Could it possible that you can turn this mode ON and see what will happen?

You can turn it on by "Site configuration" > "Clean URLs" page.

Sorry, I meant "clean" URLs when I said "direct". Yes, I have never turned on clean URLs because I do not have the privileges on the server to make that possible. I will speak with the person who manages the domain I'm on and see if he can get me set up with clean URLs.

Meanwhile, I will look into the code to see if I can easily make the module work even if the clean URL feature is OFF. It may take some time to work on this (a couple of weeks, maybe..)
