Description
The current Attachment model is rather bloated and inflexible at the same time. This issue serves as the reference point for the refactoring.
I envision the following rough features:
- Support
X-SENDFILE/X-Accel-Redirectto speed up delivery of attachments and to free rails ressources with Apache, Lighttpd and Nginx - Allow to change attributes (actual file, name, description, ...)
- Support journalizing
- Support various storage backends (e.g. git repositories, Amazon S3), i.e. make the model extensible by plugins
- Clean up the distinction between viewing and downloading files
- Support for inline-viewing of browser-displayable content (text, images, maybe PDFs, ...)
