Is there a way that I can hide the name of an image file from the user so that they can't see what it's called, and infer anything from it? So if the real filename was something like bright01.gif the user would see something like image01101.gif where those numbers are randomly (or quasi-randomly) generated.
Thanks
There are two methods in software design. One is to make the program so simple, there are obviously no errors. The other is to make it so complicated, there are no obvious errors.

Now, that being said, there ARE some things you could do that will be a bit more involved...
(a) You could write some sort of request preprocessor that takes in a string in some special format and converts it to a real filename on your server. That way, the HTML source has some wacky-looking filename in it, your preprocessor translates it and returns the real file.
(b) Something I did in a project some time ago... in your
