Access file in protected directory 

Hi,

I'd like to show a PDF file from my website in an HTMLBox using a Gateway.  To prevent outside users from accessing these PDF's except through the application, the directory is password protected by disabling Anonymous Users in IIS.

Is there a way to send credentials with the Gateway so that it can access the file?  When I use the WebRequest method, I can send along credentials.

 

Thanks!
-Danny

Re: Access file in protected directory 

Hi Danny,

My first thought are that if you use a Gateway and show the PDF via a HTMLbox in your VWG application, you really don't ever need to expose the PDF to the outside, except through your application.

Does that answer your question ?
