Record download stats for resources (extension)

[rgrp]

As a User (especially as a Package Owner/Maintainer?) I want to know how many times a resource has been downloaded (and when).

So let's record download stats (as in clicks on the link for a resource).

Implementation

• Record info of form: resource id (or url?), timestamp
• Do this via javascript capturing of onclick event talking to an api
• API: /api/resource/{id}/download
  • POST to increment (how do we stop spamming -- could use a nonce setup with a random string set on each page load for the js)
  • GET to get data back { total: X, day_count: [ [yyyy-mm-dd, count], ... ] }

Questions

• Do we record ip addresses (to handle de-botting etc)?
• Do we count preview clicks as well?
