[Building Sakai] Short URLs in sakai 2.8

[Adam Marshall]

I see there is a url EB API in Sakai 2.8. I have some questions

Question #1. 

I supplied this: 

http://cod.oucs.ox.ac.uk:30080/direct/url/shorten.json?path=http://cod.oucs.ox.ac.uk:40080/access/content/group/af6362c5-fcdf-473b-9c4c-5d79127dfaef/Economics/Michaelmas%20Week%201/AdamVines2009.pdf  

and got his back 

http://cod.oucs.ox.ac.uk:40080/access/content/group/af6362c5-fcdf-473b-9c4c-5d79127dfaef/Economics/Michaelmas Week 1/AdamVines2009.pdf 

Am I using it incorrectly, if so how is one supposed to call the API?

Question #2 

Has anybody integrated this with Resources > Edit Details - I was hoping that the long ugly URL in the "web Address" 'copy box' would be a shortened URL that had been generated by using this service.
