[wdvltalk-social] Fw: secure download for ebook

[Cheryl D Wise]

I use Zen Cart to manage book downloads with payment through PayPal. People
have to log into their account to download the books they purchased (though
it does return automatically from PayPal). I can set the number of times the
person can download their purchases and a time frame after which their
download link will expire.

I am starting at the beginning again with planning a site, and
again this will be to do with selling a book, but it will also
contain a lot of other material and some sort of forum or, more
likely, a 'questions answered' newsletter.

I do not favour any DRM, but don't want the download page exposed
or available to non-payers. I am reluctant to think HTTPS, though
I know how sensible it is. But I was thinking that maybe [I am
using PayPal for payments] there was a way of linking the PayPal
transaction number to the download.
