Blobs, BlobServers and URLs (and Santander)
-
I was just wondering who in Santander thought this would be a good idea:
http://www.santander.co.uk/csdlvlr/BlobServer?blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobkey=id&blobcol=urldata&blobheader=application%2Fpdf&blobheadervalue1=inline%3Bfilename%3DPDF-BANK0479.pdf&blobwhere=1314012714572&blobheadername1=Content-Disposition
Do they really have some many documents and methods of retrieving those documents that a simple id fetch wouldn't work?
-
Hmm,
blobheadervalue1=inline%3Bfilename%3DPDF-BANK0479.pdf
andblobheadername1=Content-Disposition
would appear to be an interesting combination. What could possibly go wrong?

Forget that, what aboutblobkey=id&blobcol=urldata&blobwhere=1314012714572
? Unless the BlobServer checks columns types, a bit of scanning could probably get a list of column names. The easy test would beblobcol=id
.
