The objectives of this module consists in defining a new type of download method.
Private & Public - public files are available using HTTP directly and private file are transferred by DRUPAL, it uses the private path defined.
Why this module is interesting ?
Sometimes, you may need to have a control on the download of certain file, but you don't want to control all the files.
By setting up this module, you may use the private mode only for some paths to thanks to the specific "system/files" path.
The problem is that it will control all your files even some which are not aimed to be private (e.g. the images associated to a user profile). By using this module, you have the possibility to limit the directories you want to control.
