Allows files stored on MongoDB GridFS to be resized and processed as if they were local.
Requires .NET 3.5.
In version 3.1.5, you will need to build ImageResizer.Plugins.MongoReader.csproj yourself, as precompiled binaries and nuget packages won't be included until V3.2
This plugin is alpha, but supported.
Example URLs
You can access files by their ID (best) or their filename (if it is URL-safe).
