Dear Madams and Sirs,

Ever had the chance to forbid a website to download HTTP files from
your Website ?

Have a pc-linux-gnu on i686 - Apache v. is Apache/2.0.50 (Fedora).

Point is, there are some undesired websites that downloads our content
to display it over their websites.

As an eg : they insert in their web-pages : <iframe src="our-
website.com/file.php"> OR <img src="our-website.com/file.gif"

These websites are 100% undesired.

We searched out and asked questions BUT
.. if we found out how to forbid ONE USER to download a content
.. if we found out how to forbid USERS to access a file or a directory.

We could.not AT ALL find out how to forbid one website (eg :
clickandwin.com) to display our content.

The dreamed situation is a .txt reject list recognized from the
httpd.conf file.

>From your pro. experience in website configuration, and studies : You
might have an operational solution ?

We thank for your answer and address our best consideration.

Bob

It's not the other site doing the download, it are its visitors.

No way

In short it is a mission impossible.

Best effort is to check the referrer to have our-website.com. Bare in mind
it is simple to fake and easy to disable.
