Just opened an account with Rackspace Cloud Files and I'm looking to protect our video assets. By protect I want to make sure that the user is logged in with an active account prior to serving up the video stream. I suppose it could be done in the .htaccess, however if I use LiveHeaders or any other sniffer I will see the CDN's URL. We will be serving this video to the iPhone as well as through the browser.

You can simply download it on server side and send it to client. Dont ? Why you have to provide CDC URL ?
For example, using CURL...

Well the point of running it through the CDN is to use their bandwidth. Seems like Amazon S3 might be a better option for what I'm trying to do.
