Re: Design Question on File Downloads

All the web pages are secured using CGI Session

Thats odd, CGI::Session doesn't provide security

but I cant figure out how to protect the download files. Is there a way to hide the filenames from the user?

The same way you're protecting the pages?

Instead of having the webserver (apache) serve files, have your "pages" serve the files instead

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

I could have sworn I've seen this wheel already, but I'd be darned if I can remember the name -- I would try looking for existing solution before inventing my own

As long as it isn't called Blackboard... Ugh, that system is awful. Or at leat it used to be when I was in college, and I hear it hasn't gotten much better over time.	[reply]
