Validate referrer to access directory script?

by Josh Anderson
3 replies
There are lots of solutions to validate access to certain pages and there are lots of solutions to block access by ip or referrer validation to pages...

I am looking for a simple solution that will only allow access to a directory (not page) once the referring domain is validated not the referring page either just the domain.

Anyone know of something like this?
#access #directory #referrer #script #validate

    You can do this via the .htaccess file.

    Google for "hot linking prevention technique apache htaccess" and it will be the first article (sorry cannot copy/paste URL on iPhone).

    That article will show you what to add to validate the referring domain or deny access.

    If I understand correctly what you want to do and referrer spoofing isn't a concern I suppose you might use an .htaccess file...

    In particular something like this:

    Preventing Image Bandwidth Theft With .htaccess (thesitewizard.com)

    If you can't make it on your own - let me know and I'll try to toy around with it.
