Hi

I have recently begun exploring Firebase and thus far the libraries and documentation is great.
When using the Firebase storage for images, is there a way to retrieve a smart URL for image resizing much like the Google App Engine functionality documented here:


Under Google App Engine making use of the same Google Cloud Storage buckets we are able to obtain a URL that can be used to retrieve thumbnail images without needing to store additional images.

From the docs if the original public URL is:


http://lhx.ggpht.com/randomStringImageId
Then the image could be resized on the fly with:
# Resize the image to 32 pixels (aspect-ratio preserved)
http://lhx.ggpht.com/randomStringImageId=s32

Is this already available or planned with Firebase?
I had attempted to obtain a similar smart URL from my server application using the Google Could API java library, but unfortunately the feature seems exclusive to the Google App Engine hosted programs. 

Thanks
Wayne

I'm sure by now you've found a solution or run into same link I'm sharing now:

Thought could be useful.
