- Common HTTP interface to various asset storage backends (

- Authorizes using the backend but also provides extra layer of prefix level security policies based on complex Apple Group unions/intersections
- Provides for on-the-fly transformations for various Image/Video/Archive/Header manipulations on the asset using a simple Domain Specific Language encoded in the URL itself
