This alias system permits to create an "alias" to an uploaded file.
This permits to upload some new content and update the alias to the new
content.
This will permits to implement a lot of services, for example:
- Storing a live chat between two people
- Update a list of files
- Put a whole website and update it
A few notes:
- An alias MUST point to an existing upload at his creation or update.
- Alias are not protected against reading but are protected against updates
and deletion using a password. The destination of the alias can still be
protected by a password.
- Alias can be updated to change it's target and/or change the password.
- Alias names and passwords must be between 8 and 32 characters.
