The filename is returned by a function which encodes the primary key as the filename, which then is used to mark the item as done when the result is http status code is 200. Without it, I have to track the file item mapping to filename somehow. 

As for why I am doing all of that, I am implementing a Qt replacement for iOS-like NSURLSession delegate which requires background uploads to be written to a file. I set the taskDescription to the filename, grab it back in didCompelteWithError, where I update the database and delete the file. The Qt version does not have a description field, so I *have* to use the file name or some other mapping.
