Let's back up here for a moment.  How are you delivering these
controlled images and text to the client?  Are they, for example, simply
<img> references in a generated HTML page?  If so, then the browser is
constructing an HTTP GET requests for them, and anything the browser
constructs the user could type in on the address line.  You still end up
having to map the request to some resource location on the server, and I
don't see any way to prevent the end user from manually entering the
equivalent URL.  You could obfuscate, but not prevent.
