I want the app to work like a kind of proxy.
The whole point is for the client not to actually hit the remote site
as I say, I'm quite happy to make this a 2 phase thing where:
Phase 1: With the first request to pull the file from the remote
server and store it via BlobStore (maybe display a blob key)
Phase 2: With a second request download the file to the client (using
the blob key)
