htaccess hotlinking problem
- by DesperateWebDev
Hi!
Iam fighting following problem with little success.
I want to block hotlinking to images in static folder from other domains than my_domain.com
htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?my_domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|js|css)$ - [F,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(favicon\.ico)$ static/$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|static|robots\.txt|7e3b7a5bafcb0fa8e8dfe3ea6aca9186\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Page is on CodeIgniter and it have static folder so images can be loaded for ex:
http://www.mydomain.com/static/somepic.jpg
but users are linking from other sites and eat my bandwidth fast.
Presented above htaccess doesnt work and I have NO idea why :(
Please help!
