How about giving users direct access to a reduced size image with a water mark in them and then when they purchase an image (I'm assuming that if you're protecting your images because you're selling them) use CFCONTENT to push the real image to the user.
The overhead of using CFCONTENT is reduced drastically this way. Otherwise, you need to look at rewrite rules in apache (I believe there is some kind of "plug-in" for IIS that allows you to do rewrite rules in IIS). Use the rewrite rules to check to see if an image is being accessed via your pages and if its not redirect the offending person back to your home page r the disney homepage, depending on how cruel you're feeling. ;o) Regards Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "JLH All Turbo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:53 PM Subject: Protecting NON-CF Files with CF > We have to protect an entire directory and it's subdirectories with CF. > We'd like to use CF to process our logins.. but can't have people directly > linking to JPGs and MPGs etc under neath.. since CF can't really protect > these individual files unless called through a CFM page, we've run into a > problem. > > How can we accomplish this?
