I have inherited a couple "unsecured" rest services that are accessible through a public facing URL. They are part of an unsecured, public facing Flex web map application. It turns out that internet trolls are connecting to the rest service at night and basically pulling down the data, others are using it in the own maps without permission.
I am not a flex guy. Can folks make some recommendations? What is the easiest way to make the REST data available and unencumbered to the public through the Flex app, yet make it impossible or very difficult for some crafty folks to sleuth the raw data from my REST end point directly?
If possible, please point me towards some type of document or example as I am learning all of this as I go. Thank you!
