[Xitami] block downloading PDF files to localmachinewhenviewingthem online

[Ron Ackerman]

If the user is going to see the PDF it will be downloaded one way or another
it may go to cache but it's still downloaded so a savy user could grab the
file out of cache if all else failed. I don't know of a way to view the file
from the server without downloading it. Maybe there is some sort of PDF
viewer I don't know. Maybe check out HYPERLINK
"http://www.pdfgo.com/"http://www.pdfgo.com/ see if that will do it for you.

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.
