Ok, thanks!

But what about people that type in the browser the images URL directly. Can I redirect them?

its only a bandwidth bill, pay it and stop crying ;)

It blows my mind that someone that has made 8k posts here does not know how to use htaccess to stop hotlinking. Even the surfers that post here would know how to search google to find out how to prevent it.

set up your .htaccess and find out

yes you can

Antonio · 01-09-2005, 08:55 AM

I'm not sure if you're fucking with us or you being serious but I'll bite. Doesn't matter if they type the url directly, if you set up .htaccess to redirect to your main page it will redirect them, e.g. a guy types:

http://www.tranza.com/somedir/someimage.jpg

he'll be redirected to

http://www.tranza.com/

It can use this in htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z0-9-]+\.)*domain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(^|(.+;)*)id=valid(;.*|$)
RewriteRule ^.*\.wmv.*$ http://domain.com/hotlink.htm [R,L]

and put this javascript on the page with the movies

Code:

<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
<!--

//hotlink protection
var expires = new Date ();
expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); 
document.cookie = "id=valid; path=/" + "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString();
//hotlink protection 
-->
</script>

You can do it that way or use a custom image instead.

Or you can be smart and send them somewhere else instead of continually wasting bandwidth on leechers. But then that wouldn't be cool.
