File Download Endpoint

[trajano]

This is for non-public downloads. Do it similar to how Amazon and Google does it. An endpoint resource will be used to request the creation of the download file the URI will have a "key" associated with it.

A external endpoint would be /download/{accesstoken}/filename.ext

The data will be retrieved from a Cache which will expire after a given time

There are two internal endpoints

/store which will store the data into the cache and provide an access token. It passes the following meta data in along with formdata which contains the file contenxt

{ expiresIn. meta }

There can be multiple files stored for a given request. Invoking with the same meta will update the data

The content disposition portion will say the file name and content type.

The meta is used to provide information on how the record was built

/check-meta which will check if the meta is present the store. This is used to prevent double processing. It returns the following:

{ accessToken, expires, files [ { filename, contentType } ] }

Only the meta data will be stored in the cache however the storage will be using a file system. The file system is expected to be mounted on a clustered network storage.

The store can also point to an existing file if allowed.
