secured downloads on ASP.NET application

[harinath]

Hi, I need to design a portal based on DOTNET. The requirement is to facilitate software downloads through the proposed portal. 1. big downloads(softwares/patches) will be there. 2. Need to track users based on tokens issued to there and we need to make sure only those with valid tokens will be able to download the particular software. Please do let me know your thoughts. Thanks harinath Thanks Harinath India

IMO, you may use a seperate web page .aspx or a custom http handler to implement the download functionality instead of using a static link. Doing so, you can authenticate the user and track the user action. Jesse[^] can give you the sample code.
