password protection of streaming files

Post by douga »

Hey all! I have a situation here I was wondering if you could help me with. I have a site with Windows Media Streamig audio files on them. I need to protect the files from download, but also need them to be able to streamed when acessed from their asx metafile.
The metafile, abviously, points to the real file and begins streaming it. Anyone could open the metafile in a text editor and find the URL to the real file.
So how do I protect those files from being downloaded while allowing them to stream at the same time?
Is there a script that would allow me to do this??

Thanks! :?
