BLOB routing

Routing to BLOB properties is an implementation of partial routing, which lets you extend routing for any content beyond pages.

The URL pattern to route to a BLOB property is <content url>/BlobPropertyName.

Consider the following content model:

/// <summary>
    /// Base class for content types which should be handled as images by the system.
    /// </summary>
    public class ImageData : MediaData
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the generated thumbnail for this media.
        /// </summary>
        [ImageDescriptor(Width = 48, Height = 48)]
        public override Blob Thumbnail
        {
            get { return base.Thumbnail; }
            set { base.Thumbnail = value; }
        }
    }

Suppose there is an image created in CMS with an URL like http://site/GlobalMedia/Images/someimage.png. You can route to the thumbnail BLOB property on the image by the URL http://site/GlobalMedia/Images/someimage.png/thumbnail. Because the property has the attribute ImageDescriptor, the thumbnail BLOB is generated automatically if it is null.
