Messages with type "UploadMessage" should get translated to a URL #10

Right now in flamethrower, messages with type "UploadMessage" coming from the streaming API get silently dropped. We need to figure out a way to translate these messages into a URL that can be sent to the user so they can still view the URL in a browser.

A JSON message like this:

{"room_id":73541,"created_at":"2011/01/12 15:24:25 +0000","body":"Steak.jpeg","id":298466819,"user_id":786985,"type":"UploadMessage"}

Should get translated to this URL:

https://thepoint.campfirenow.com/room/73541/uploads/1711244/Steak.jpeg

Not sure if this is programmatically possible since we don't get the upload id from the JSON message (in this case 1711244). Need to investigate further.

I noticed the same thing (the upload ID isn't in the live stream's message). I e-mailed 37signals support and they confirmed that the only way to get the upload ID or upload URL is to fetch the list of recent uploads (uploads.{json,xml}) and look for the matching creation date and filename. :-(
