Example of displaying photos that are not in a webserver subdirectory?

Hi Bill: No luck. 

When I watch this in debugview it shows that the file is not found (which is what we want -- correct?). If I understand this correctly, it should then read my code in the Webhandler embed.  There, I trap the 'securedownload/' token and assign the external path so it fetches the photo from a folder outside of the web app.  For some reason, the change is not being made.  Even when I hard-code the path it doesn't try to send the correct file.

The code appears under the _SendFile PROCEDURE embed.  Tried both before and after parent call.

Many thanks.

Finally got it.  I had a character wrong in the INSTRING function.  I'm really pumped because this solves what has been a nagging problem for a long time.

Special thanks to Bill Shields.
