excellent, thank you!

Ignoring WS-RF problems (which are strongly in the not-impemented 
category), the main stopping point is that my current implementation 
only supports addFile to file: urls , not http: ones. I can add the new 
feature fairly quickly I suspect, with a new filestore that serves stuff 
up to being locally visible over HTTP, and maybe externally retrievable too.

In production, I'd be biased towards file: URLs for two reasons

-you can trivially restrict access by userid
-a good network filesystem is available to everything in the cluster, 
with redundancy.

To give http urls redundancy  you need multiple hosts responding to the 
same hostname, which either needs a fancy router (=failure point), 
dynamic DNS configuration or  rendezvous-style mDNS hosts, and JVMs that 
have their IP caching parameters tuned to give hostname->IPaddr mapping 
lifetimes down to minutes.
