I'm writing a small CF application for a customer. The concept
is quite simple. A visitor comes to the website and pays $10
via an internet CC payments company. The payment of $10 allows
the customer to view a movie.

The implementation seems to have a flaw. The internet CC payment
company provides a CGI which receives information via hidden
input fields. The hidden fields contains details identifying
who the payment is to be credited to, the amount and the
URL to call if the transaction is completed succesfully.

I've been wondering how to clever people from simply calling
the sucessful transaction URL to view the movie, thereby
bypassing the CC payment transaction.

All of the ways I've though of for preventing people directly
calling the succussful transaction URL have the problem that
they are easy to work around.

I'd appreciate peoples input on the best approaches to
overcoming the problem using CF.

Regards.  Paul
