Hi All,
This question was asked in a ColdFusion User Group.
I'm wondering if there's an equivalent way(to <CFCONTENT> in CF5) of
restricting a files location using JSPs?
Ie. When a user tries to download a file she/he should not be able to
access a file directly using it's URL, rather her/his only method of
accessing this file should be via a JSP page that serves the file.
Hope my question isn't too ambiguous. Thanks in advance.
Abhijit.

Instead of pointing directly to the file, you could use <CFCONTENT> to
serve the file to the user, that way you could programmatically block
them from getting the file again after a period of time. The files could
even be stored in a non web accessible directory.
Never tried it, sounds like it would work...
seeya!
