That would work, but I'm rather trying to find out whether digital
preservation softwares have problems with service-style URLs for
bitstreams in general. Because if that is the case, it could be relevant
for the further development of the (open source) repository software we
are using.

Here's a silly idea that maybe runs the risk of rushing to a solution
without actually addressing the core question... could you set up a proxy
that provides a URL ending in the correct filename?

So this happend when trying to ingest a file to the longterm archive from
a repository:
The repository's bitstream URL for a PDF file did not end on .pdf, but the
mimetype was sent correctly. So the URL looked like
https://test/bitstream/id/123456 The preservation system (a commercial
product) did not accept this bitstream URL as part of an OAI harvesting
response.
The error message was that the bitstream URL must contain a valid file
name and must end with an extension according to its mime type. So the
expected URL would need to look like https://test/bitstream/123456.pdf
This would mean that using this preservation system, we will not be able
to harvest from a repository that uses service endpoints, not regular file
links to deliver bitstreams.
I'm trying to find out whether it is common behaviour for preservation
systems to require file URLs rather than service URLs to ingest bitstreams.
Any experience on how preservation software you use handles this detail
would be appreciated!
Thanks!

We run into a situation where this occured, and I'm trying to find out
what other preservation software also do this – and if so, maybe also get
to know why this check is done.
