Best Bandwidth/Anti-Hyperlinking Protection Script/System?
 

Hey, I'm using apache on a windows 2003 server, and I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on scripts or mods to prevent hyperlinking on movie files. I already have the codes for images, but it doesnt work for movies.

Problem: People are hyperlinking to my public movie files. Can anyone offer a soultion?

Just wondering, why are you running websites on windows?

the problem is windows media player doesnt pass along referrer so if you stop hotlinking of movies you will also stop people in browsers not passing along referrer

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*[Aa][Vv][Ii]$|.*[Mm][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Ww][Mm][Vv]$ / [F]

Because I dont have the time to learn unix that's why. GUI = Easier to learn.

"the problem is windows media player doesnt pass along referrer so if you stop hotlinking of movies you will also stop people in browsers not passing along referrer"

then this is your solution :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*[Aa][Vv][Ii]$|.*[Mm][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Ww][Mm][Vv]$ / [F]


this will just block hotlinking from actuall urls and will allow local hotlinking + media players

Huh? Get managed hosting and you dont need to learn any unix.
