Hi all,

I've been tasked with updating an existing site which has protected media on it. When a user requests a protected item, the permissions are checked and then the file is served (if the user has access) like so:

var fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filepath);
return File(fileBytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, downloadItem.FileName);

Otherwise the user is bounced to a login page.

But now we've moved the site to use blob storage for media this no longer works.

The solution that springs to mind is to use a http module to handle the permissions checking, and then let Umbraco serve the file when the logging is complete. However, I don't have context in the http module and I'm struggling to use the MediaProtect library HasAccess method.

Is it possible to use MediaProtect in this way, or is there a better solution?

Cheers,

David
