    This attitude is in no small part responsible for the generally terrible security of web-based applications. Security is *not* a set of "audited widgets". You have to know what to do and what not to do - there's no magic widget that is going to secure your application. You *can't* write a general purpose, secure widget for exposing files over the internet without the end developer knowing what they're doing.
