How are you opening a URL to the ASP website? If you're using a
header('Location:...') call or similar, no - the browser will be doing
the opening. If you're using something like readfile(), the browser
won't see the URL.

In the latter case, set the appropriate content in the header and send
the file. But you can't guarantee it will be displayed in the user's
browser - all you can do is recommend it. The user still has ultimate
control over what happens with the file.

Also, if you don't what what's on your ASP site to be available from the
internet, don't make it open to the internet. Do NOT depend on hiding
urls to provide any security.
