(old-number-84) Support zipfile passwords on KMZ #86

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
OK, so this isn't really a KML suggestion. But I would really like to be able 
to apply a zip password to the KMZ file and have Google Earth prompt for the 
password. What the user does once they open it doesn't really mater (similar to 
the approach to http auth) just that they were authorized to open in the first 
place. I know this goes counter to the Google mantra--you can't access the data 
without breaking the password--but it sure would be handy for distributing 
proof-of-concept files without having to worry about them being viewed by 
casual users.

There is a work-around for this feature. You can place the KMZ file behind a 
HTTP-AUTH URL.
Then Google Earth will prompt the user for username and password (just like any 
other
browser).
