}Get Download Strategy (Direct or Presigned URL)
Returns the download strategy based on the storage backend, bucket visibility, and the S3_USE_PRESIGNED_URLS configuration.
- S3 with
S3_USE_PRESIGNED_URLS=true: Returnsmethod: presignedfor both public and private buckets. Bucket visibility only affects the URL expiration period. - S3 with
S3_USE_PRESIGNED_URLS=false(proxy mode): Returnsmethod: directusing the backend download endpoint. - Local storage: Returns
method: directusing the backend download endpoint.
Clients must determine the download flow from the returned method field.
Expiry (when presigned) is auto-calculated server-side from bucket visibility; no request body is accepted.
Object keys may contain / (pseudo-folders); the path is matched
with a wildcard, so callers should NOT percent-encode / inside
objectKey.
