mr_bob Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi all, Following advice of one member here I managed to write following rules. It's needed to block direct access, but allow files to be read by html code like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(www\.)?domain\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(www\.)?domain\.com.*$ [NC] RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|mp3|ogg|)$ - [F] It's needed for www.domain.com and https://domain.com. Problem is that page.html doesn't display images and mp3 files after that. [L] at the end allows them display but direct access too. What could be wrong here?

requinix Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you view a page at https://www.domain.com/page.html and it tries to show an image from https://www.domain.com/image/img.jpeg, what do you think the referrer string will be? Also, you cannot rely on the referrer string even being present. You should only block access if there is one.

mr_bob Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just now, requinix said: If you view a page at https://www.domain.com/page.html and it tries to show an image from https://www.domain.com/image/img.jpeg, what do you think the referrer string will be? Also, you cannot rely on the referrer string even being present. You should only block access if there is one. I guess we're missing jpeg here which should be added to the list. Maybe I should declare /image/ directory? Regular expressions are hammering me.

requinix Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I think you missed the question. The referrer will be an absolute URL...
