IIS Server Security >> How to block hotlinking to specific subdirectory

by cGJoc2w » Wed, 09 May 2007 03:09:04 GMT

Newbie Admin here, so please bear with me. There's a site out there that is
linking directly to one of our subdirectories. When someone clicks the link
on their site, it opens up a popup that pulls multimedia content directly
from our subdirectory. After playing with some settings in IIS , I managed to
get it blocked in other browsers except for Internet Explorer. Management
doesn't really want to block any IP addresses. Thank you.

1. Detecting hotlinking 

I have a strange problem detecting hotlinking using .htaccess with IIS.

I check to see if the referrer linking to my images contains mydomain.com. So, if the 
referrer is mydomain.com/page.asp, I allow the connection.

BUT - sometimes the referrer does not contain the domain name and is:
/page.asp

First of all, I didn't know that a referrer could NOT contain a domain name. Second, how 
is this done - is this a legit link to my image or is it a trick?
