Hello,

The following .htaccess file, which resides on the Sonic server, does not block hot-linking from an HTML file on my desktop.

Code: Select all


Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php55
   AddHandler php-cgi .php 
   
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?hubrisonics.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?duckduckgo.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?google.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?bing.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yahoo.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|m4a)$ - [NC,F,L]
</IfModule>

When the same .htaccess file is on my local host, it works for blocking my local host from displaying jpg files with the “img” tag. This means that the problem must be with the Sonic server. Can anybody help with this problem?

Regards,

Try adding the following to the .htaccess file.

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

You may also need the OR logic vs implicit AND since there are multiple RewriteCond(s) so you could try this also.

Code: Select all

Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php55
   AddHandler php-cgi .php 
   
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?hubrisonics.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?duckduckgo.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?google.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?bing.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yahoo.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|m4a)$ - [NC,F,L]
</IfModule>

The above code also blocked hubrisonics.com from linking to jpg files.
