 Can somebody confirm?

Unless you do an external redirect, confirmed.

[PHP] Re: Files redirect - using PHP and .htaccess

2009-02-16 Thread Martin Zvarík

Martin Zvarík napsal(a):

Hi,
there are two choices (example):

1) file_redirect.php?src=file/root.jpg --- shows an image

2) .htaccess --- if is requested file/root.jpg than redirect to 
xyzfile/root.jpg



In both cases I can restrict the access to some files only.

If we talk about PHP, the file/image.jpg can be directed to 
xyzfile/image.jpg - and the client won't know.


BUT if we talk about .htaccess - can the client find out where it really 
points out?


For example file/image.jpg will be directed to xyzfile/image.jpg --- I 
suppose it sends a response to the browser and tells him the new path 
which it should request, am I right?


If so, than it's not really secure, since the user will be able to test 
and try all other filenames and get somewhere I don't want him to go - I 
know I might be too careful,


BUT I am interested how PROs do this.


Your comments will be appreciated,

Martin
