hiding the path of an included file
I have this in one of my style sheets:
..mask {
cfoutputbehavior :
url(#Attributes.ApplicationPath#/mask_js.htc);/cfoutput
}
When this runs, it shows the path to the mask_js.htc file if someone views
source. I would like to hide this path, so that no one can download thit
file easily. Unfortunately, the behavior property only uses URLs, so I
can't specify an unreachable absolute path.
Any ideas?
Todd

If you want people to be able to download it, you'll have to specify a URL,
and if someone wants to tinker around enough, there's nothing you can do to
prevent them from downloading the file itself. You could make it slightly
more difficult by using JavaScript to build URLs on the client - a sort of
obfuscation - but that's about it.
Since you're using IE-specific stuff like HTC files, though, you might be
able to encode some of the logic using the MS script encoder. There's more
info on that at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/.

Here's an idea ... hiding the path of an included file
Hey Todd, here's an idea .. .you could put that project down while you think
about it .. then while you're not working on it, you could help me get my
SITES BACK TOGETHER ... ITS BEEN NEARLY 2 WEEKS NOW SINCE YOU BROKE
EVERYTHING ... I STILL HAVE ONLY ONE SITE UP AGAIN AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO
CHECK ITS ALL WORKING. THE OTHER HAS JUST VANISHED.
HEY IVE BEEN ASKING FOR A WEEK . . . I NEED THE INFORMATION YOU PROMISED
TO GET MY SITES GOING AGAIN
How long would the rest of you tolerate your hosting company having your
site broken? 15 minutes? 30minutes? How about 2 weeks??And he
has time to work on developing pages while my fricken sites are down MY
GAWD!

Re: Here's an idea ... hiding the path of an included file
provided sooner.
Please don't think that I just sit around all the time not caring what
happens to our hosting customers with a Scew it! I'll do it when I get
around to it whenever I feel like it! attitude. Durring the
afformentioned, very, nasty outage, I gave a few customers my home phone
number so they could contact me, personally, after 'normal' work hours if
they needed/wanted to.
So .. as an aside to How long would the rest of you tolerate your hosting
company having your site broken? 15 minutes? 30minutes? How about 2
weeks, how many web hosts do you know that give you direct access to
the network administrator who would also give out his home phone number to
some clients when things got rough?
/To Mike
Like I said before, this is NOT an attack against Mike. He has a *very*
legitimate complaint and I don't blame him for getting frustrated with the
whole mess. I just wanted to represent our point of view.
Mike, if you have anymore concerns, contact me directly, either through
E-mail, or through the toll free number and personal extension, which I will
provide if you want it. I don't mind you posting complaints to the list
(all is fair, afterall, other than the off-topic nature), but a lot of
times, due to the nature of the lists, I don't get any of the E-mails until
several hours after they have been posted. I'd rather address your concerns
sooner than later.
I just don't want there to be any more misunderstandings.
