That's actually what I had in mind when thinking about a proxy for this use- case. On my wishlist, I would love it to have a way to get a preview of images/video and/or a resized media to some common resolutions. The benefit would be that : - we could cache and share preview/resized image/video for huge files at the proxy level. - devices with restricted resources (connection/CPU), typically mobile devices, could get a small file instead of having to request a huge one then resize on-device. Of course, and in particular for videos, it could be resource intensive for the server. But at least for images, it would be a useful feature. Thanks, Goffi
