The asset server exposes an HTTP handler for assets at:

http://address:port/assets/<asset_UUID>

A GET request to that URL will receive an XML-serialized AssetBase
class as defined in OpenSim/Framework/AssetBase.cs. A POST of an
XML-serialized AssetBase class to the same URL will create an asset.

If you'd like custom behavior, I encourage you to look at the
AssetInventoryServer and some of the Frontend plugins it has. Look in
OpenSim/Grid/AssetInventoryServer/Plugins.

HTH,
Mike
