If the file is availabele via HTTP, it can be fetched using HTTP, no matter how you call it. You can only make it harder by checking User-Agent for known strings, clients may not provide it, nor they have to tell the truth. You can make them available only for streaming, but that won't stop form downloading the content too. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
