None free, and none that you pay for that are worth the price you pay!

.htaccess not good enough? Are you trying to prevent hotlinking of movies?

this is what you do.....

go to google and search on HTACCESS and hotlinking. Noone elses script is going to work for your domains and IPs :2 cents:

i remember someone giving a free out

Search:

Hotlink+Juicylinks and see what you come up with.

Yea you'll find that he's complained about the pay ones, cuz they SUCK ass, their all made wrong, I've dealed with the PHP and apache module, both programmed shitty!

Do you actually think this works? :1orglaugh You won't get most hotlinkers this way! And if you really want to protect your content, referrer based isn't the right way. The worse way to try and protect yourself, with all the referrer spoofers!

Lots of bad info out there on htaccess, specially when it comes to hotlinking.


I have a site where all the scripts are tested and properly coded.

Still htaccess isn't the right way of doing it, for the protection, unless it is cookie based. But cookies won't let some people view some shit. And referrer is not the best way to authenicate anything!

Yeah, That's good if you wanna slap all your shit all over the place. Learn proper organization and you won't need a lame htaccess like this...

make a
.htaccess file

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://YOUR_DOMAIN.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|JPG) http://YOUR_DOMAIN.com/ [R,L,NC]

Proper organization... jeez!

Thanks guys.
