[Xitami] block downloading PDF files to local machinewhenviewingthem online

[Zheng Huan Qun]

I have tried it. The PDF file is password protected but still is downloaded to local machine. Is there any other method to let user view file only without downloading it to local machine?

Also Xitami has to be refreshed after each edit to the aut file if I remember correctly from discussion a few weeks ago. This does pose a problem if a cgi program is used to write to the aut file directly.

for the example i've provided,

the "aut" file must be edited manually by the administrator...  it's the only way i know.
 

if you're looking for something more elaborate than that, i might suggest browsing some of the free cgi sites to see if you can find a specific script to suit your needs.

 

(unless someone else here has a better solution)

assuming that an "aut" file already exists for the domain in question,

it can be edited like so:

 

[/your-directory-name/sub-path/etc]
    username01 = "password1"
    username02 = "password2"
    username03 = "password3" 

 

... and so on

 

i don't believe there's any other trickery involved.
