This plugin supports the ckan.download_proxy option, but the README file doesn't mention it.
Configuring a secure proxy server for file downloads is important in any environment with privileged network access, such as running on an Amazon EC2 instance. Without a filter, and with a plugin that displays resource contents to the end user, anyone capable of creating a resource can point it at a private IP address and have CKAN display the potentially sensitive contents of that URL. Thus, the README file for this plugin should mention the importance of setting up a filtering proxy.
