I guess the problem with content/stream providers is they cant (until now) really password protect their streams using mod_auth since having only a u/p would probably be more dangerous than just using the http_referer for protection.

I think this might be a better solution... use both!
Use passwords AND referrer based protection. The password would change daily/hourly or whatever you prefer, and the whole process of assigning new u/p sets for your clients would be automated & transparent to them.

This would put an end to services like pornasaur and anyone hacking in solely with http_referrers, at least when they are targetting your service.


e can code up a solution like this for you for the low low price of



one meeelion dollars.


Paypal Only Please.







something like this already exists, mod_ticket, however the problem becomes forcing your clients to use it. You could come up with something pretty easy is all your clients have php installed, but what if they dont.
