Instead of using gif or jpeg files, have you considered using the
<cfcontent> tag and using cfm files to verify the seucrity? You can use
<img src="somefile.cfm"> instead... Works like a charm.

I would also like to hear information on this.
As far as I know, you need web server security to keep someone from
accessing an image file.
You can, however, prevent image names from being shown.
<img src="image.cfm?id=1234567890">
where url.id is an encrypted filename. Inside image.cfm, do a cfcontent
pointing at that image. Did that make sense? :P

Subject: Protecting, a, images/pics, directory?
I am trying to make it so you have to "login" and be authenticated before
you can view a subdirectory of images and pictures, much like I would if I
used application.cfm to check authentication before .cfm files are loaded in
a subdirectory. But apparently application.cfm is not run before .jpg or
gif files are accessed in a directory. SO, does anyone have some
suggestions on how I can check authentication before someone accesses an
image file in a particular subdirectory? The way it is right now, if anyone
knows the name of the image they can simply type in the URL. Thanks in
advance for any suggestions.
