Have a "private" directory analogous to the "public" one,with files only loadable by logged in users

[rowanthorpe]

At the moment files (e.g. images) placed in the [IXPM_URL]/public directory for use by IXP-Manager are also publicly (not-logged-in) accessible by URL. It would be good to have an analogous [IXPM_URL]/private directory which would be a clearly understood place where IXP-Manager can load images, etc from for a logged in user only (checks login cookie/session). I guess something similar could be achieved by the far more complex method of "wrapping" content inside files with smarty logic in the views directory, but I believe as a simple (and easy-to-understand) option for "non-publicly-viewable" stuff this would also be useful. Example use-case: image files for embedding in documentation pages suitable for logged in users, but not for public browsing...

Moved to IDEAS.

Which is not a dumping ground by the way - just medium term storage rather than allowing many issues to build up which reflect poorly on the project at first glance.
