Hi, we have some pdf's on our server- sensitive info. Right now u can enter url that 
hits those pdf's directly and download them. That is not good ofcourse we need 
security. Need to check if they are currently logged in, or atleast if they have our 
cookies with a uid and pw on it. Ofcourse there is basic authentication, but we want 
to avoid that for that ugly pop up login screen. So wondering from the webserver 
level, if there is a way that you can protect directory, with the criteria for 
accessing that directory being a session cookie. Is there a module you can configure, 
u can tell it what cookie to look for (eg. sessionid), maybe even see of that 
sessionid is currently valid. Any other possibilites to do it without basic auth and 
those pop up logins. Thanks, Jake
