The Sling Get Servlet to be precise ;-)

As Jukka said, you may employ access control to prevent this.

But there is a glitch for the scripts located in /apps and /libs:
Currently scripts are read from the repository using the session of the
current user, that is the request user.

So preventing access to

> http://dev.day.com/discussion-groups/apps/mailingLists/mailingLists.jsp

by simply denying read-access for the anonymous user actually prevents
using the site at all.

One solution to this problem could be to not load the scripts with the
session of the current user but to use a special-purpose session (for
example an admin session) to do this.

This way, you may lock down /apps and /libs for general consumption but
may still execute the scripts in there.

WDYT ?

Felix
