Config .htaccess for Referrer and Agent of ET only?

mike · Post by **mike** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 10:53 am

Hi

has someone a fully functional config for apache2 .htaccess which blocks access to the files instead for:
ID_DOWNLOAD/2.0 libcurl/7.12.2
and the server referrer?

a bit late but here----works
This is not an htaccess file but directly in the .conf

<Directory "/xxxxxxxxxxx">
SetEnvIf User-Agent ID_DOWNLOAD/2.0 libcurl/7.12.2
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconHeight=22 IconWidth=22 IconsAreLinks HTMLTable
AddDescription "ET maps" pk3
AddDescription "Zip File" zip
DefaultType application/zip
AddIconByEncoding (pk3,/icons/pk3a.gif) x-pk3
order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
AllowOverride None
Allow from env=libcurl/7.12.2
</Directory>

Code: Select all

SetEnvIf User-Agent ID_DOWNLOAD/2.0 libcurl/7.12.2
order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=libcurl/7.12.2

will work as .htaccess w/out needing the httpd.conf file edited

This by itself wouldnt prevent leaching of bandwidth from other servers,only direct browser access.

Really, it is more likely you want to check the referer

People aiming their servers wwwbasurl at your server is far more likely to take up your bandwidth than random people pointing their browser at it.

is it possible to check for my server referer only too?

maybe allow just this specific IP, but i have no idea if its possible and if yes how to do it

yes it is possible, ever notice (for example) if you try using tripod.com as an image host it pops an anti leach image up?

unfortunately i don't know how

but this only works if et sends the right information about the request.
referrer...

dont know if and what kind of et sends.

it does in 2.60 not in 2.56

mike · Post by **mike** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:33 pm

good then i think i should add both.

ReyalP · Post by **ReyalP** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:09 pm

The ET 2.60 referer looks like this:

Code: Select all

et&#58;//207.111.203.70&#58;27960/

Only with your ET server IP and port, of course

booger · Post by **booger** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 10:23 pm

Code: Select all

SetEnvIf Referer "ET&#58;//x.x.x.x&#58;27960" local_referal
order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=local_referal

in .htaccess /etmain or surround with <Directory> for httpd.conf

i 'think' you can call local_referal whatever you want. Really isn't any need to do both referer and libcurl.

hm both works but not if i want to check both at same time in one config.
referer is enough.. normally..
but how to check both??

I think if you use both,the libcurl will override the referer,but Im not really sure.Or maybe you can tell to satisfy all variables.

Code: Select all

SetEnvIf User-Agent ID_DOWNLOAD/2.0 libcurl/7.12.2
SetEnvIf Referer "ET&#58;//x.x.x.x&#58;27960" local_referal
order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=libcurl/7.12.2
Allow from env=local_referal
Satisfy all
