For 1... I would need to do some research as from the top of my head on
where to find this information. For 2 it is quite easy. Use a
zend_hash_find on the $_SERVER global for the request_uri parameter,
then md5 it and append it to the filename. I think 3 is also useful.

Please note however, that I will not be adding new features until after
I have released 2.0 - I need to work to a stable release at some point
:)

Derick
