I'll be implementing a feature for PyPI where you can POST
to a certain action (revdownload), and then PyPI will POST
the file requested to an URL that was passed; this is need
to make blobs work on AppEngine.
Any objections?

Martin

Seems like this is rife for abuse -- it's essentially an open relay
for POST requests, so I could use it to amplify a DDOS attack. So
probably sounds like there needs to be some sort of security, or
whitelist of allowed URL (or prefixes?), or somesuch.
I guess I restrict it

However, apps can neither read from nor write to the blobstore.
The only way to read from it is to serve the file, and the only
way to write to it is through a POST from the outside.
I've been able to write to it using urlfetch internally. You just craft a
request with the POST from the app
