Hi, I''m trying to figure out the best way to protect images uploaded by users who may wish to keep them private. For example, if they are uploaded in the default file_column location (/public/blah/blah/1/) then someone can simply type the URL http://www.blah.com/blah/blah/1 and get the image. I can store the images in a non-public directory in the rails app (ie: /railsapp/images/X/)

...don''t like to do that. I would recommend coming up > with a diiferent way to handle those id''s that doesn''t require a slash. The solution is here: http://blog.chanezon.com/articles/2005/05/20/rails-tip-create-a-route- with-an-arbitrary-number-of-parameters == =mmell
