Blocking request to download resource folder.

[Jaikishan Jalan <jai.ism@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a folder named resources - which contains all my images and css file etc. I want to make sure that no body can download those resources using a browser by typing directly the URL of that resource. However, at the same time I want my html files to render those resources without any problem. My first question is if this is possible at all? Because I believe that whenever an HTML page is requested by a browser by typing the URL, all the resources are sent to client using GET request. If I put a block on my resource folder directly, then my HTML wont be able to render those resources. For similar reasons, I cannot block access to folder based on the type of request (GET or POST).

Are there any configuration parameters that can be set for the apache server or is there any way to get around this problem.
