Can I hide an image path on asp.net page without http Handler?

Question

I have many static images under a directory in my site structure, and I'm not concerned with hotlinking or copy-protecting the images. For a myriad of reasons, what I need to do is not show the image path on the site (or show a fake one).

Is there any way to do this without resorting to an http handler or a worker asp.net page?

Answer 1

You could use a generic ASHX handler for this.

Answer 2

You could use URL Rewritting. Doing it yourself would require you to implement a custom handler but there are third party options already available you could try.

I would guess however that a simple http handler implemented as an ASHX endpoint would probably be the easiest option.
