Summary
Improve the
shouldSecure()method to reliably determine whether a path is a file or directory -- using both the filecache and storage API -- before attempting to open the path. This prevents unnecessary or erroneousfopen()calls on directories (especially in external storage), ensures filecache metadata is prepared for permission checks, and enhances stability and clarity when applying SecureView restrictions.Helps with nextcloud/server#57342 (and may even resolve it, though there may be additional things going on there - TBD; this improvement is useful either way).
