It wasn't all me. I got close, but was able to ask the right person the right question

I can probably create a special file name including endpoint for the mobile view so it works with the Kobo. Does the filename have to be part of the path or can it be a query parameter?
It looks like it needs to be part of the URL. My earlier test that worked earlier was:

Code:
/get/EPUB/938/Unclean/Unclean_938.epub
Trying:

Code:
/get/EPUB/938/Unclean/rubbish?q=Unclean_938.epub
didn't work.

The hack I've done is to simply generate the file name and append it. Then if there is a dot in the URL, strip everything after the last slash.

And I'd agree with chaley. I know I've seen problems like this before with other sites and browser combinations. They were older browsers, but unfortunately, the browsers on the ereaders seem to be old and simple.
