[Advanced-java] addHeader/setHeader Problem in JSP and Servlets.

[Ethan Hunt]

Hi All,

lemme elaborate the requirement a bit.

My site is deployed on iplanet app server 6.5. Now through the site users 
can access some content which is to be accessed through a different web 
server.

Now the client can directly hit the web server with the full path of the 
content and can access it. I have to basically restrict them.

i thought if I can add the user id or name in the header information in 
response, then i can validate this on the servlet on the web server.

Pls lemme know if there is some other solution for this issue.

Thnx and regards
Prabhat Rana
