I don’t want to store the urls for each file i have stored. Rather , i would like to store /baseUUID and know that if want to retrieve my file i can just do /baseUUID/s/myfile.jpg or /baseUUID/t/myfile.jpg. This will save me from having to store the unique locaiton of each file in my db. ---

I can expose the assembly.id as a path variable. How would you handle the case where you have a multiple file upload with 2 files with the same name? ---
