Hi Everyone,

I have a question on how to forward a URL, specifically one out of my control. If someone has directed a URL (www.example.com) to a directory on my site (http://www.anotherexample.com/forums) , how can I deny access?

Since the URL is being forwarded, is the referrer information still going to show the originally requested URL or will it show the forwarded URL?

Am I left with contacting the host and asking for them to remove the forwarding?

Thanks!

You could use a antihotlinking rewrite rule

Well this is only against hotlinking for images, but I'm sure you can modify it for your needs.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.anotherexample.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(gif|jpg|png)$ http://www.anotherexample.com/images/replacement.gif [R,NC]
