Re: How do I display TIF images, but not allow direct download?

Mandy,

I'd be interested in knowing how you do this, and if there are any
browser-specific limitations.

Hi,
I couldn't see your message because the mailing list had stripped it, but
the subject is pretty clear.
We do this by making a servlet deliver the binary data straight to the
browser, rather than just using an URL that points to the image file. We
store the image in a BLOB in DB2, but you could no doubt do the same by
reading the binary data out of an image file if necessary.
Say if you need more information on this.
Best regards
Mandy Shaw
