This is failing because we allow the renaming of file contents when extracting an archive. The content within the zipfile is: ne_110m_rivers_lake_centerlines.shp, but the download template wants to rename that to: {category}_{resolution}_{name}.shp. I'm not sure I fully agree with the ability to rename a file coming from an archive, versus making the reader handle different formatted filenames, but I do sort of see why you may want to do that to try and organize things your own way too.

@greglucas Just a thought ... is there a compromise here to extract everything in the zipfile as you've implemented, but also as a convenience create links to the original assets following the existing cartopy naming convention?

Or will that just muddy the waters?

@bjlittle, that is an interesting thought. I'm not opposed to it, but I do wonder if we need the renaming or if we can just get rid of that capability and simplify our lives a bit...

superseded by #2534 so closing this version.
