Hidden refers to password protected or otherwise not directly downloadable
files. In other words, you might not want everyone to be able to more or
less anonymously download a file. Then you simply place it in a directory
that is not open to the world and use HTTP_Download to provide the download
interface. That way you can easily integrate user authentification and
permissions (e.g. LiveUser).
