Secret Plugin for WinterCMS
===========================

[](#secret-plugin-for-wintercms)

**Temporary signed links for internal files and internal URLs.**

This plugin provides a Twig filter and function `secret` that creates signed, expiring links without exposing your real storage paths. It supports:

- Files on any Laravel/Winter filesystem disk (`media`, `local`, `s3`, …)
- Internal URLs (e.g., `/queuedresize/` from a qresize plugin)
- Optional delete-after-download for storage files
- No external hosts (only your own app)

**Author:** Mercator **Plugin code:** `plugins/mercator/secret`

1. Installation
---------------

### 1.2. Clear caches

From the Winter root:
