I may be wrong but, I believe that the HL/HL2 sends a header with the server's IP address in it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 6:29 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] VALVe hide our sv_downloadurl paths!
How would you use the .htaccess to only allow folder access from a given server IP, since it is basically a web url based access? It is amazing what can be done with that file, so I don't doubt you. Posting how to customize it for a given folder and server IP would be handy...I'm just wondering if a player doesn't need to have their own player IP to access it however...which would open it back up to everyone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dagok" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:52 PM Subject: [hlds] VALVe hide our sv_downloadurl paths! This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] This was posted on the Source DS (Windows) team forums. POsting it here in hopes that it will get directly to Valve. "ok a little problem is people being able to just type sv_downloadurl in console and steal our links and use it on there server stealing our bandwith. I think valve should hide this when someone types it" Yes there are ways for people to setup htaccess etc so only they can use the folder. But it sure would be nice if typing sv_downloadurl in the console would return "******" like sv_password and rcon_password do. Can you please pass this along Alfred? thanks, Dagok -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
