Suppose I have a typical proxied mod-perl setup and I have a large (~ 650 MB) file I'd like to provide authenticated access to. The mod-perl server will be doing the authentication, but for performance considerations I'd like the proxy server to serve the file directly instead of having the mod-perl server first forward the file to the proxy.
Is there a way to do this so that access to the file would be _impossible_ unless the user is authenticated by the mod-perl server? I am looking for a solution that can guarantee that there is no way to circumvent the authentication process. I can think of solutions where the probability that users can access the file without authenticating can be made very small, but I am looking for an absolute guarantee.
