If you are on on-Rev, then the world is your oyster. ;-) You app address a
publically available html page that in turn uses the new Rev scripting to
access a secure area of your server. Whether it does this or not or what it
returns is limited only by your scripting imagination.
For example, it could check what or who is making the request. It could send
the jpg in an encrypted or "crippled" format (some bytes missing) that only
your application knows how to decrypt or use. Etc...
In either case the jpgs can be in a secure area of your account and you
don't have to pass any user names or passwords and if somebody browses to
the html page that your app goes to, they get garbage. ;-)
