If I have a page controlled by a function that has access control, do I 
need to also validate the same at the download stage?

For example (in pseudo-code):

function x():
1. Check to see if Mark Billion is the authorized user or redirect to 
google.com
2. do something
3.  return dict(image.file=image.file)

The view has the following
 "{{=URL('download', args=image.file)}}"


My thought is that you cannot access either function x or x.html without 
being verified as me, and I dont see how you could pass to download() 
directly, so there is no reason to add another layer of authentication in 
the download function.  Thoughts?
