Hi!
I have a weird problem. In my web.config file I've added the following
lines:

<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.jpg" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>

I did so because I wanted to prevent any .jpg from being downloaded. All
.jpg are located in a directory called "Pictures" that belongs to the app
dir. Why am I still able to view the pictures and save them using the
browser?!? Can anyone, please, tell me what's wrong?
Thank you.
