Running Apache 1.3.31 on Slackware 10.0
In my httpd.conf file, I have the following:
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.cyber0ne.com/"; local_ref=1
<FilesMatch ".jpg">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=local_ref
</FilesMatch>
The idea being that the server will only return a .jpg file if it was
referred from a page on my website. However, often enough to be of
concern, users are often (but not always) denied .jpg files even with
the proper referrer in the headers. My error_log file shows that the
"client was denied by server configuration." However, my referrer_log
file shows the proper referrer. Also, if it was the case that the user
had turned off their referrers for some reason, they would be denied
_all_ .jpg files. But they are only denied some at random times with no
discernable pattern.
Any idea what might be causing this? Is there a better approach to securing .jpg files from outside linkage than what I am doing? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
