'Streaming' Files to browser 1

[thetedster]

Hi All,

The task i'm currently attempting to complete involves sending files (pdf's & doc's) to registered users' browsers from a secure directory which has no open access. In order to prevent any unauthorised access to the files.

I thought that there may be some way to do this using the filesystem object, in a similar way to using the output stream in java Servlets, but the methods it contained don't really seem to be up to the job.

Any advice on a way to achieve this, or any possible workarounds would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance,

Mark Edward
