 I just took a call from a customer (TV) who was confused because they were
 trying to "Download a file" in the WUI, and they mistakenly had a
 directory cap when they thought they had a file cap, and when they clicked
 "Download!" in the WUI it was taking them to a directory listing page in
 the WUI. After they and I figured out what was going on, they agreed with
 me when I said that the "Download a file" box in the WUI should give an
 error if you use a directory URI in it. (There is a "View File or
 Directory" box if you want to view a directory.)

 To close this ticket, make it so that the "Download a file" box gives an
 error page if the user provided a directory cap instead of a file cap.
