[feature request] download directory as zip file

[Amedee Van Gasse]

With directory browser, it's possible to download individual files as ZIP file.

As a JIRA administrator, I want to download an entire directory in one ZIP file, so I don't have to click on all files in that directory.

Any news on this one?

Please see the attached file for a way on how this can be easily implemented.

‌

I have tested it myself and it works.

‌

Drawbacks:

‌

1. You cannot tell how big the file is going to be
2. Your request may timeout when downloading large folders
3. The generated temporary zip files are not removed after downloading them

‌

The last point may come in handy if you request timed out initially: simply wait until the temporary zip archive does increase in size anymore and then download the file itself.
