How did you "secure" the directory?  Was it through the web server or the
Application.cfm file.

If it was the application.cfm file, then CF never executes a single line of
code, and your security is not used.  If it's through the web server, then
you should probably take a look and the htaccess file for that directory.

I just discovered something that astonished me.  Inside a secure directory (
http://statistics.cyberk.com/cyberstats/ ) I have an images folder.  Of
course this dir uses the Application.cfm file which is in the main
cyberstats dir.  
I have no problem getting to content inside a subdirectory of this protected
directory, e.g., http://statistics.cyberk.com/cyberstats/images/answer2.gif

I thought nothing could be accessed in or under a secure directory without
login.  Yet it turns out I can not only pull images from the secure site
easily into an html file anywhere on the internet (!), but if I know the
filename I can directly access them too.

Is this normal, or have I seriously screwed up my CF security?
