Description

Hi,
I have setup a file that is located outside the public html folders and use drupal's private file download method. If I'm not logged in and enter the url of the file, I get "403 Access Denied", which is correct.
Now I log in, start the download, stop it halfway through and then log out of my drupal site. Now I resume the download and it still continues. This works even if I close my browser, restart it and then resume the download.
Somehow I would expect that resuming the download should not be possible once I have logged out. Or is this an incorrect expectation?
