For what it's worth, in a similar situation where I had SHA checksums as
caps, I used URLs of the form:

  http://foo.bar/repository/FILENAME?sha=01234567890123456789

The FILENAME part was ignored by the server, of course, but not by the
browser.  In my opinion this also conveys the idea that the file is
inside the repository and not inside some strange directory named
"01234567890123456789".


A bientot,
