Secure Url

The web application has a link button which when clicked uses the ID in session and opens ID.doc in another machine. Here is how I access http://TestApp/MainPage.aspx, I get the link button and click it and ID.doc opens. Also, am able to open http://TestApp/Docs/ID.doc [this is the virtual directory path where all the ID.docs reside] The user should not access http://TestApp/Docs/ID.doc [^] Do you have suggestions on how to do this?

What you can do is to place the file outside of the wwwroot directory, and then stream it to the user when needed. That way the user won't be able to access it directly through a URL.

I guess a simple
HTTPHandlerapproach would be better than this. What do you say ?All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia My Website | Ask smart questions

Yeah. HTTPHandler is much easier than that. no need to touch the IIS setting and just can be done via web.config. but I haven't tried it before..
