Cancelling Downloads Initiated By TransferManager::DownloadToDirectory

[MissingAFew]

Direct quote from comments of the TransferManager class:

The key interface for controlling and knowing the status of your upload is the TransferHandle. An instance of TransferHandle is returned from each of the public functions in this interface.

However, DownloadToDirectory function does not return a TransferHandle, which is needed to Cancel downloads. In the comments for this function, it states:

You will receive notifications that a download has started via the transferInitiatedCallback callback function in your configuration. If you do not set this callback, then you will not be able to handle the file transfers.

That's great, I can get TransferHandle via callbacks... however, the callback's TransferHandle is pointing to a const, and the Cancel function isn't const, so I can't Cancel the download from the callback.

Maybe Im missing an alternative way to Cancel the download, but I can't find it.

I don't think there is a way to cancel the download and it doesn't look like it was designed with a way to cancel the download. If you are looking for something like this you could use DownloadFile and manage the downloads individually.
