You can make the Alias for directory tmp (in the httpd.conf):
Alias /tmp/ "/tmp"
Then you can describe the directory /tmp with something like
<Directory /tmp>
# this to allow user to get directory list
Options Indexes
</Directory>
After this client will gain access to ALL files in the /tmp directory.
Probably, this
is not desired. You can give access to specified files in the /tmp
directory. For
instance
<Directory "/tmp">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
<Files test.doc>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
Alias /tmp/ "/tmp/"
I suppose you want to use servlet to output file. It may be quite simple or
rather
complicated depending on your tasks :) If something is still unclear, don't
hesitate
to ask.
