What ASP.NET Web Config entries could limit certain file access by date and time?
- by Dr. Zim
What entries in a web.config could allow certain files to become publicly accessible after a certain date and time? Specifically, we have these files starting with AB_.jpg where the _ could be anything. We put them in a folder on April 27th for example, but they shouldn't be accessible until April 30th at 11:59:59 PM.
I think the web.config in part works like Unix's FTP .htaccess file to define file security.
For example, this web.config entry allows directory browsing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
