The file location variable includes port :81 and since Lighttpd doesn't support htaccess the mp4 will download without any security blocking it.

Just curious if anyone using Lighttpd knows of a solution to prevent this security hole?

Two solutions,
1) Install mod_h264 and mod_flv into apache and just stream using apache behind your htaccess
2) Setup mod_secdownload in lighttpd to make protected downloads links
