There is one issue with my solution.
If you upload a file filename.abc, it is internally renamed as lots-of-
junk--filename.abc
and you can download it with
http://..../download/lots-of-junk--filename.abc
It works on GAE too.
The problem is that URLs are validated hence filename.abc must be
sanitized. I sanitize by replacing any alphanumeric char in filename
with one underscore. This is fine for english files. This is not fine
with filenames with foreign charsets (like chinese).
I could replace lots-of-junk--[encoded filename].abc but this may open
a big can of worms. If the original file contains special chars, what
is the encoding? What if the downloader does not support those chars
in the filenames?
Any advice?
