			<p>Specify a custom deletion key<br/>
			<code>Linx-Delete-Key: mysecret</code></p>

			<p>Specify an expiration time (in seconds)<br/>
			<code>Linx-Expiry: 60</code></p>

			<p>Get a json response<br/>
			<code>Accept: application/json</code></p>

			<p>The json response will then contain:</p>

			<blockquote>
			<p>“url”: the publicly available upload url<br/>
			 “filename”:   the (optionally generated) filename<br/>
			 “delete_key”: the (optionally generated) deletion key,<br/>
			 “expiry”: the unix timestamp at which the file will expire (0 if never)<br/>
			 “size”: the size in bytes of the file<br/>
			 “mimetype”:   the guessed mimetype of the file<br/>
			 “sha256sum”:  the sha256sum of the file,</p>
			</blockquote>
