hotlinking

I have many static images under a directory in my site structure, and I'm not concerned with hotlinking or copy-protecting the images. For a myriad of reasons, what I need to do is not show the image path on the site (or show a fake one). Is there any way to do this without resorting to an http handler or a worker asp.net page? You could use URL Rewritting . Doing it yourself would require you to implement a custom handler but there are third party options already available you could try. I would guess however that a simple http handler implemented as an ASHX endpoint would probably be the

This will probably get a pretty nasty response, but my server isn't the fastest at the moment, and my site loads much faster if I hotlink from the jQuery homepage so they server the content. Is this bad to do? Does jQuery eventually remove those js files from their page? Better hotlink it from Google API libraries . Very big advantages: Google is fast and highly available Separate hosts, allows the client to load JQuery simultaneously with your pages and images (browsers support only a limited number of connections per host) Probably even faster still, because many websites use it, so this

Am having some issue fixing media file hotlink or download using IDM, am working on serving a video file using PHP and it works fine, but I notice that IDM installed on my computer was able to add download box to the video I am playing using jwplayer. I change the structure of code and added htaccess to rewrite the link, so that the direct access to the file is not display. mysite.com/file.php?myvideo.flv -> mysite.com/api/file/JU78vhx5uh I was able to implement this in JWPlayer and it works when serving with PHP, yet the same IDM fetch my video file, I search for other means which is htaccess

What is the best/simplest way to prevent people hotlinking to images from my hosted ASP.NET website? I don't need to prevent all images/resources from hotlinking, I just want to prevent hotlinking to specific images/resources on a site. FYI. It's hostesd on GoDaddy.com so IIS tricks probably wont work. Streaming the images through an ASPX page is a good solution. Though Referrer could be hacked. What you could do is use a unique salt (keyword) and generate against MD5 (SHA-1 or SHA-2) if you are really concerned with security. Run the current epoch time as well against this as well, this puts

I have a folder named - Images . This folder contains user profile pictures. Right now a user can see his image by just copying the image URL to his browser any time. This way he can also see other user's profile pics. What I want to achieve is - The user should be able to see his profile pic only through the PHP page on my website. If the user directly puts the image URL, it should not be displayed. I tried to achieve this using .htaccess. This is what I have in the .htaccess file : RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mysite.com/

I want to avoid hotlinking images. Basing of this answer: stackoverflow answer I've tried to add the next snippet code into .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?itransformer.es/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png|wbmp)$ htttp://itransformer.es [R,L] but it is not working. When I try to access the images putting the path in the navigation bar, I can access. What am I doing wrong? You're explicitly ignoreing referers that are blank. When you type the URL in your navigation bar, there is no referer, therefore %{HTTP_REFERER
