asp_databases thread: Linkstealers.. problem..


Message #1 by "SD-Studios" <info@s...> on Sun, 18 Aug 2002 01:15:23 +0200
Hi!
I've got a problem with other sites linking to our files. Is there maybe a
way to give the user access to a folder only by going through an ASP-page?
Is this possible, if not, what else do you suggest? Sorry, I know its kind
of inappropriate to post this mail to this "forum", but I didnt know where
else to turn..

You could place a cookie when a user enters your site and check for this
cookie before they try to download a file.
You also can check where the user is coming from with
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") and exclude all the requests
from "outside".
Another possibility is to use a Session.Variable.

Hi

I think 4guys have an article about how to protect images from "leeching" -
could you extend this to files?

Here's the link anyway:

Hope it helps,
