Our website generates PDF documents on-the-fly based upon database content. The user who created the document should be able to view it, but not other users, since the documents often contain private information. A web page on a Pylons site will contain link(s) to the user's document, where each link is an anchor element.
Where should the documents be stored on disk: outside of the Pylons directory tree? If outside, configure a system variable or an Apache setting (alias)? What is the best way to construct the anchor elements? Something like this (where pdfdocs is aliased)? <a href="/pdfdocs/ABC12345.pdf">My Special Document</a> Or, perhaps like this? <a href="/viewer.py?docid=ABC12345">My Special Document</a> and let viewer.py return the contents of ABC12345,pdf if the user is authorized to view it?
