Hi!  I have a set of files stored in a folder that is *not* shared.  I
need to make these available for download, but I need to restrict access
based on permissions in a database.  On my old IIS3 server, I did this by
linking to the files using a URL like
"http://site/scripts/secure.asp/somefile.jpg";.  The secure.asp script
would read PATH_INFO to determine the name of the file, check the database
to determine permissions, and if access was allowed, it would read the
file in and use Response.BinaryWrite to deliver it to the client.

Unfortunately, PATH_INFO doesn't seem to work properly under IIS 5.  After
some research, I tried setting AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings, but it had
no effect.  I am still getting a 404 not found error.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work?

Thanks in advance for any help!
