Expiring URL #7

Closed keichan34 closed 8 years ago

An expires_at timestamp that is embedded in the URL, so the link needs to be fresh. I'm not 100% decided on this yet, but I'm pretty sure I want it in my application, so it might be going in (or at least, some kind of customizable authentication -- not just an expires_at parameter)

Decided to not do this. Since these URLs should be put behind a CDN, authentication should be done at the CDN level, not this level. Since an ever-increasing expires_at parameter is not constant, it'll have a 0% cache hit rate.
