What is the best practice for storing and serving images securely
without
hurting performance?
Is it possible to store user images in a folder that’s not web
accessible
(possibly higher up and before /www?) and serve on demand after the user
has
logged in to the page? There is a username and password access
mechanism
already in place.
The users don’t want these images to be publicly accessible.
I am running nginx with php on Ubuntu. Database is mysql.
Thank you.
