I've got a mod_perl handler that pushes different paths onto the
includes list depending on a number of variables.

Any good?

Hi, I have made a little .pl file that checks if a user has a certain
seclev, and then display a certain message depending on the seclev, I use
print statements, ahven't figured out how to pull a template from the DB and
to display it.

Anyway, I wanted to offer some files for download, right now its only 2, to
users with a certain seclev. with the above aproach I can publish a link,
this works, however once the link is known there is nothing stoping ppl from
making the link public to other ppl, since there is nothing checking if the
user is authorized to D/L that file.

I have been looking on freshmeat, sourceforge and other places for some CGI
script that "masks" the URL for the files or other anti-leech system,
however all I found where PHP scripts :(

Any idea how you can do this in Perl? store the files directly in the DB?

Thanx

Ralf

HI,

Just remembered http://www.perlmoks.com and did a search for, well file
download, and voila, there it is...

now I just need to figure out how to use a template from the DB....

What will be next? a D/L counter? A full blown file area plug-in for slash?


I answered myself in case someone else wanted to know about this....

Pure TT.

If I could get my head round subclassing Apache::Template to add the
path pushing trick I'd lose my handler totally.

New Problem, I got the script working, however It can only access directory
and files that are anyways accessible by the apache daemon, so it kinda
defeats the purpouse.

Is theer away to make some sort of handler in the conf file that is you want
to access a specific dir you need to be logged in with a certain seclev? Hmm
I guess that entire dl.pl was for the dogs anyway

I went through some of the same problems you're going through with this.

I wrote an MP3 plugin. It scans for mp3's, databases them,
and lets you search through them for filename/artist/genre etc etc.

I had *hoped* to add download-ability or play-ability to the plugin,
but I never had time to work on hiding the src path for a file.
I figured I could push the file to the browser, but I needed
a way to make sure that no one could ever get the src paths and try
to go a browsing in the directory tree (that apache has read-only
to in the FS) and leech the entire multi-GB collection and screw
our bandwidth.
