    Hide what URL, where, from whom?

    Edit: nevermind; I missed that this was in the filebrowser catagory

    @Bergamot: Of the images, I assume. (This discussion is posted in the "Filebrowser Suggestions" category) @enet: Sorry, but I don't think Filebrowser was designed to do that sort of thing. Besides, obsfucation just gives a false sense of security. Anyone could just view the page source to find the URL.

    a_magical_me: that's not true. any file can be sent through cgi without revealing its true location on the server. in fact i've written a vanilla extension that does just that.

    True, but firefox (at least) forces a download on files served that way, which wouldn't work well in a gallery.
