Provide metadata #18

Open hoelzro opened 12 years ago

The current clientd implementation doesn't provide any metadata when it pushes blobs to the server. Metadata are nice, because some plugins will probably make use of them in the future. Some example metadata would be:

MIME type
File size (unencrypted, uncompressed)
Character encoding
Encryption method? (in case a user decides to use different ones?)
Directory Structure (this may not be necessary)
Checksum (because why not)

Make sure you provide tests for this, including a test to make sure metadata is correct when the link goes down.
