Hi, I am a bit confused about the mod_rewrite documentation. It shows this rule to block hotlinking: RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!^$" RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!www.example.com" [NC] RewriteRule "\.(gif|jpg|png)$" "-" [F,NC] however, I'd think a better rule would be: RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "^$" [OR] RewriteCond "%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!(www\.)?example.com/.*$" [OR,NC] RewriteRule "\.(gif|jpg|png)$" "-" [F,NC] if I want to block anyone manually typing in a link (no referer) + hotlinking (probably has a referer). Do i need the [OR] on the 1st RewriteCond and not the 2nd one? It seems to work with OR on both conditions. Thanks for any help!
