I've been unsuccessfully searching through the group for some pointers on how to implement this.
Here's my scenario - I want to be able to push large images and videos online, files that would be larger than the current App Engine limits. I want to control access to these files as if they were blobs in an App Engine datastore (simple stuff like controlling who can view them) but I want to store them on a third party server (that I have control over). Obviously, a direct URL to the image isn't good as anyone could find that. I'd need a simple backend script running on the third-party server. I don't really care about how the files are actually going to get where they need to go, I can manage that. What I'm having trouble with is how to setup that third-party server with a simple script that would serve up the content when requested by the App Engine front end. That script would have to check that the request is coming from the front-end and for a valid (authorized) user. This seems like a pretty trivial thing to do but I can't figure out what I need to pull it off. Any help is appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
