Issue
- The URL which is generated for Documents that are uploaded to the Documents and Media portlet contains a string of numbers, letters, and a 't' parameter after the name of the document. If there is any way to get rid of that string and parameter so that the URL ends with just the document name.
- 
Steps to reproduce
 1) Start a clean instance of Liferay DXP 7.2 with fix pack 5.
 2) Go to Content & Data -> Documents and Media, and upload a pdf file.
 3) Select the file uploaded and go to its information -> Latest Version URL
 Expected Result: The last section in the URL for the document is just the document name (i.e. /Document-Name.pdf)
 /documents/544310/552443/KED-Report-Feed+Inflation-Dec2020.pdf
 Actual Result: The end of the URL contains some additional information, including a string of letters and numbers and a 't' parameter.
 /documents/544310/552443/KED-Report-Feed+Inflation-Dec2020.pdf/de057edb-a991-081f-bc29-bead63e7aacd?t=1607548870902
 
 
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.2 Fix Pack 5
 
Resolution
- This is the intended behavior of the Liferay DXP as there is the purpose behind every parameter of the URL.
- Let's say this URL has been encountered: http://localhost:8080/documents/20124/0/pdf.pdf/4032f01f-bf0e-0406-53f3-a6b6ed65d95d?t=1610662152807
 Which can be divided into arguments
 http://localhost:8080/assetType/groupId/folderId/fileName/UUID?t=token
 From this point, the document's required information can be seen.
 assetType
 groupId
 UUID
 t (Timestamp argument)
