You have imageResource registered as a shared resource, right? Unless I'm missing something, that class is something you or your collegues created yourselves, and it reads the "file" parameter to determine what needs to be served. All I'm proposing is to prepend whatever that file parameter returns with your base directory (just C:\ here). > I must be missing something.

Have that imageResource implementation check that the resource may be accessed. Deny by default. You're potentially opening up your whole server if you don't so be very careful with this.
