Q:

SharePoint Document or Item Download/View Event Handler?

Is there any way to capture document download or item view actions in SharePoint 2010/2007?
Thanks.

A:

I had a similar requirement in that I had to send an email when a document was downloaded. In WSS 3.0, I wrote an Http Module that looked at the request url and if the prefix of the request matched my document library URL, I captured that download/view.
