Hey, this is a pretty basic sysadmin question, but seems pretty critical for django development. What's the best way to limit media on a django site to certain users?
A typical example is a photo gallery app. Suppose you are recreating Flickr, and a user's photos should only be viewable by his/her friends. You can restrict other users from accessing the django view that presents the photo. But if the image is on a static media server, the image is still publicly accessible by its direct URL. So, question is: can you add restrictions to a media server connected to django to say "this image can only be served in a page that was rendered by a django view"? Thanks for the help -- Brett Surprisingly (or not?) Facebook has no such permissions...here's a random photo from one of my friend's private albums that apparently you can see without even having a facebook account: http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2681/23/22/30008/n30008_36329813_2721261.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
