Ok I have a problem.

If you click on the link http://www.rpgdreamer.com/music/kh/kh-1.mid

The htaccess file works. You get redirected.

As far as I know it works.

But this site: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=zeth_briefs

<embed src="http://www.rpgdreamer.com/music/kh/kh-1.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true"><noembed><bgsound src="http://www.rpgdreamer.com/music/kh/kh-1.mid" loop="infinite"></noembed>

Is using that code and I want it to stop. Please help.

check out site management/hotlink protection in that site's cpanel.

the hotlink protection is the same .htaccess that I'm using. It doesn't however seem to stop someone from direct linking a file as a background music.

sure the page with the midi file is not in your cache on your PC?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.g0at.cx/hello.jpg [R,NC]




or similar

where yourdomain.com is your domain

and http://www.g0at.cx/hello.jpg is the worlds most revolting image, or the one that you want to display to people when they hotlink

I have had good fun making the hotlink image a huge ad for my site!

Hmmm. This is what I have.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://rpgdreamers.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.rpgdreamers.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://rpgdreamer.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.rpgdreamer.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(gif|jpg|jpeg|mid|html|bmp|txt|wmv|zip|mp3)$ http://www.rpgdreamer.com [R,NC]

But it doesn't seem to work to prevent the midi from being direct link as a back ground music. How do you recomment me fixing this on the .htaccess?
