At my site there are a no. of pages where flash plugins are installed which plays mp3 songs online. The .htaccess has all the site grabber as banned. So the site can't be grabbed with curl, wget , httrac etc...... But if you view the page source, you can see the link of the mp3 file. As example http://mydomain.com/folder1/song1.mp3 and if you just put this link in your browser, it simply give you the "save as" option and you can save it with out any trouble. This simply bypass the .htaccess restriction and I like to prevent this. Any idea how to prevent it ? thanks > Dan > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
