Redirecting some image requests ...

texte = What's the easiest way to prevent certain images from being downloaded from the server when the referrer is not one of my pages? I'm thinking of something like the following, has anyone ever tried this before -- or something like it?This (theoretical) technique uses an image tag to call a .tpl page instead of calling an actual image file. The name of the real image file is passed to the server along with the 'check.tpl' file reference. Then when the 'check.tpl' page is requested, it redirects the request to the proper image file or the 'bad image' file, depending upon whether or not the referrer contains my domain: --- image tags in my web pages: ---
--- code in my check.tpl file: --- [showif [referrer]^www.mydomain.com] [redirect images/[imageFile]] [/showif][hideif [referrer]^www.mydomain.com] [redirect images/BadImage.gif] [/hideif] .... or maybe another way to do this would be to include the image file -- although I think I have had problems trying to include high ascii data before such as that found in image files: --- code in my check.tpl file: --- [showif [referrer]^www.mydomain.com][include images/[imageFile]][/showif][!] [/!][hideif [referrer]^www.mydomain.com][include images/BadImage.gif][/hideif] Earlier browsers never used to send the referrer in a method=POST, but several I have tested lately seem to send the referrer. So maybe this former limitation of using the referrer tag is resolved now? -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- Outsource your WebDNA programming for $18 an hour or less! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
