Hotlinking help
Before i begin, let me just stress that i've spent hours searching WHT and google, but haven't found anything satisfactory that meets my needs. Hence my post here, to seek help from the divine ones.
I have a certain domani, for example subdomain.example.com. On that domain i have a flash (*.swf) file, that is displayed on one of the pages.
I have recently run into a problem however. I noticed a certain site is hotlinking directly to the *.swf file, and that's eating up my bandwidth. I'm consuming 2GB/day when I used to consume 20mb/day.
I need to urgently enable some kind of hotlink protection. I'd like to block all users who having a certain site, for example badsite.com, as a referrer. In fact, i'd like to block everyone from hotlinking that *.swf file, except for my own site of course.
How would i go about doing so?
