[Xitami] hiding URL paths

[RPO]

It looks as if the Aliases section might be what I am looking for, but can I pass it variables?

Virtual Path            Real Path
/photos/$var            /xitami/photos

and then $var would be translated to: /photos/user1/album1/foo.jpg.  But I supposed the web surferer could still type in http://www.blah.com/photos/user1/album1/foo.jpg and stil get to the photo.  I need some way of directing a virtual path to a real path, but be able to prevent the virtual path from accessed directly.  So this takes me back to my original question.

  Or is there a way to lock down the directories so they require user/pass to gain access, and then be able to pass that user/pass to the server via a script.  The user/pass would be hidden in the script and not passed via HTTP POST?

    I have a photo site that requires ppl to login to access, however if you type in the direct URL to the photos (photo directories) themselves you can still access them directly with a http://www.blah.com/photos/foo.jpg.  Is it possible to hide the real URLs from the world, or the paths from the world so they can't access the photos directly?  My goal is to force users to login to be able to access the photos, and only be able to access the photos the rights to?

    Thanks,
    Russel
