Can I redirect a hotlinked image to show HTML? Considering the browser is expecting a header for an image I don't think it will work.

I found a few a popular image of mine being hotlinked here and there so in .htaccess I redirected all images requests from those domains to a custom image... believe me I was sooooo tempted to use xxx pics. =P

    I use a script generator for thatFree .htaccess Redirect Generator

    It lets you block IP, and lets you set up 401 errors...but xxx would teach that person a lesson in stealing bandwidth lol

      Or for maximum funny replace the image with another of the same name and size. You could have the new image be a lecture of the perils of hotlinking, or you could go with the old internet standby of the most repulsive and offensive porn you can find...all down to personal taste.
