Description
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.
