@gogasca Thanks for the issue and the PR. I've been reading it, and agree that the allow_origin_pat should be checked in this case as well. That said, in the exception handler there is already some code to call check_referer for GET and HEAD, and the docstring of that method already specifically mentions the /files endpoint, so I think it should probably be the method used here (at least for GET/HEAD). Also, I want to be careful to see if there are any configuration scenarios where the extra check would fail some existing behavior that we still want to allow, so I've been discussing this in the dev call (cc @Zsailer ), so the review might take a bit longer.

Happy for any input you have on the above, and thanks again!

Thanks @vidartf I will test using check_referer method and get back to you. I have been unable to join the call in the past few weeks due to some personal commitments, but will report back with more details. Thanks
