1. logfiles don't work for non-text as they always send content-type = 
text/plain or text/html. (That could probably be changed by adding a 
extension -> mime-type mapper, but that is a bit unreliable)

2. for addURL to work, you need an url. So a FileUploadStep is probably 
necessary to upload the file to master first, then you can add an url to 
it. I think that's how it's supposed to work. Others may help more here.

3. It'd be cool if we had "logitems" that supported any mime-type 
specified in config (i.e. logitems = {'chart': ('chart.png','image/png') }).

Cheers.
