This was done for one of our customers who used lighttpd to stream their videos. The problem was other users were directly downloading the content from the website, which is essentially considered leeching/hotlinking and in turn using up our client's bandwidth. To prevent this, we followed these steps:
1. Find the access IP that shows up in your lighttpd access_log (typically in /var/log/lighttpd). The IP will most likely be the main IP of your server/VPS.
2. With that IP, add the following code to your lighttpd.conf file:
Code:
$HTTP["remoteip"] == "1.1.1.1" {
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/videoimagefolder/" {
url.access-deny = ( ".flv, .jpg, .gif" )
}
}
Replace the IP with the IP you find your logs, the folder with the folder where your videos, images or whatever the content may be are located. Lastly, put in the extension of the files you'd like to prevent access to. So, if you only have flv files, just put ".flv" in there.
That should do it!
