what if i send max-downloads and max-days together in one header will it work according?

Lets say i set max-download: 5 and max-days: 5

it means the file will get deleted after 5 days no matter if file gets downloaded 5 times or not
if it gets download 5 times in a single day then also it wil get deleted.
both

Thanks

hi @MayankFawkes
first of all: the file won't be deleted according to that two values, only access to it will be denied (file purging is related to a setup value when starting the server)

as for your question: yes, they will work together (https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/blob/master/server/handlers.go#L660-L663)

we check if max-downoad is reached, and return error/deny access if so
if not we check the max-days and do the same
