FYI, there is no need for the URL to end with .pdf or .html to
indicate the content type.  Web servers have other ways to do that.

>PS: I find file names with spaces are still a pain for some tools, so I suggest adding some hyphens.

Agreed.

>Why not have the filenames in the language of the document thus giving a link such as:
>uasg.tech/documents/UASG000-инвентарь-материала<http://uasg.tech/documents/UASG000-%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8C-%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0> or
>uasg.tech/documents/UASG000-инвентарь-материала-2019-01-25<http://uasg.tech/documents/UASG000-инвентарь-материала-2019-01-25>

In principle a reasonable idea, in practice UTF-8 in URLs can be
flaky.  Some browsers hex encode it, some don't.

R's,
John
