Need a honey-pot file creator for a web site

I'd like to find a means via html/cgi to create a "honey-pot" so that when members go to our web site and download the file that it can be tagged some how.

I am tried of finding our hard work being stolen by others - so I'd like to have a dynamic link where each member would have the option to follow the link to download a file. This file needs to be marked somehow with their IP and or their member ID since they will have to sign in to get to it.

They are posting anonymous on competitor pages so I don't know who they are -- C&D letters to the vendor are being ignored. But that is another story.

Question -- would this type of tagging work if the files were in a zip? Meaning I cannot add any size to it, but I can change XML enocoding??

I'm not familiar enough with zip files to know for sure, but I think they contain checksum data.  If so, it would be incorrect if you did this; you would have to unzip the file, change the file you want to change, then re-zip it.  If it doesn't contain checksum data, then you could do this as long as you maintain the zip structure.

Question on this topic

How can we get the displayed image output to be the name of the file that was input?

Currently when I do a "Saveas" the file name is "download2.pl.jpeg" rather than "image001.jpg"
