[TYPO3-dev] Generating a secure PDF download link in Fluid

[Frans Saris]

Hi Mark,

I would recomend using
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/fal_securedownload for
providing links to restricted files. It hooks right into the FAL API to
generate restricted links instead of parsing the html to replace links.
