So if I wanted to secure this link using the CFContent tag <a class="homeaa" href="/documents/#docpath#">#doctitle#</a>
I would replace it with <cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="/documents/#docpath#"> #doctitle# ???? Is this correct ?? Also what if there were multiple file types in the /documents directory such as .PDF, .DOC, .XLS etc. Would that rule CFCONTENT out ?? -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Knudsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 March 2005 21:10 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cold fusion, pdf files and security yup, place the pdfs, or other files you want protected, in a dir OUTSIDE your web root. Then use a CF page and the CFCONTENT tag to deliver your files. Doug On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 16:00:43 -0500, Wurst, Keith D. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone. I have a cf security question.
