With Auditing, cancelled downloads and completed downloads both record READs

Summary

With auditing enabled, a cancelled download is logged as a READ action. There is no difference in the auditing logs between a download that completes and a download that is cancelled.

I have attached a log file with both valid and cancelled downloads of aaaTest.docx to demonstrate the identical log messages.

Steps to reproduce

• Install Alfresco 5.0.3
• Add the following lines in the global properties file.
  audit.enabled=true
  audit.alfresco-access.enabled=true
  audit.alfresco-access.sub-actions.enabled=true

• Add the following lines in the Alfresco log4j.properties
  log4j.appender.File.Threshold=TRACE
  log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.audit.access.AccessAuditor=TRACE

• Start and log into Alfresco.
• Successfully download any document from within Alfresco. (I used firefox)
• Click download in share again but this time click cancel before the document is saved or downloaded.
• View the Alfresco.log file for the audit logs.

Expected Result

• The cancelled download should not be logged as a Read action or have a different log message from a valid download.

Actual Result

• The cancelled download and valid downloads are logged as the same messages. You cannot differentiate between the two.
