Using Header to sort of redirect a URL to an audio file to be used as a BGSound

FWIW, and might be minorly interesting, but in order to use something like
the following HTML tag in a page to play a sound in the background, but
without actually allowing them to see the actual file name to prevent the
file from being directly downloaded:



Then in the sndsrc.php file:
//wav = "audio/x-wav"
//mp3 = "audio/mpeg"
$PhysicalFileName = "realsource.wav";
header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK', True, 200);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: audio/x-wav');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="redirected.wav"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($PhysicalFileName));
readfile($PhysicalFileName);

Suppose it would let you then at the very least double check session usage,
or maybe check requesting URL or something to then block them from
downloading the file directly as such.

Stay well
