I'm currently working on a community-like page, where gallery-images exists. These images should not be accessed to anyone not logged in to the community, for example, no one should be able to write http://myhost/images/image1.jpg when not logged in.
I first thought of using .htaccess for that specific image-folder in webroot, but then each user have to fill in this user/password as well (as his login/pass to the site itself), and that seems a little annoying. But that could be an option. Instead I put all images outside the webroot-folder (in /app/images/), and access them via the Media View (see Views in Cakephp Manual). This works fine, but performance is really slow, since it takes a php- action call for every image loaded (e.g. /Images/getImage/31), and when showing 30 thumbnails this takes some time. I would like to point directly to the image (for performance reasons). Anyone out there knows of a better way to "protect" files from anyone not logged in to the site?
