- /CHS/upload_file for uploading a file, or multiple files to the database,
- /CHS/download_file/{id} for downloading a file from the database, where {id} is the filename,
- /CHS/{id} for deleting a file from the database, where {id} is the filename,
- /CHS/get_all_versions/{id} that sends and receives JSON documents for obtaining a list of versions of a file in the database, where {id} is the filename.
