Yes, this will work with most files. You won't be able to take advantage of
PDF byte-serving, though, if you care about that. You don't even need CFFILE
if you're using some sort of time-based authentication scheme within your
application.

This will also work, but it's more trouble to implement. On the other hand,
if you're going to handle a lot of files, this will perform much better, as
it takes CF out of the loop when handling the actual file request.
