I'm not ashamed to be running IIS (I need to due to work requirements - aka Exchange 2003). Thanks again :) Rick Payton, IT Support Morikawa & Associates (808) 572-1745 http://www.mai-hawaii.com/ ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Yeti Sent: Thu 6/9/2005 6:05 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] VALVe hide our sv_downloadurl paths! This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] For those of us running IIS: ISAPI_Rewrite Lite from http://www.isapirewrite.com/ To block all requests not from our game-server, based on the referer tag, the httpd.ini contains: [ISAPI_Rewrite] # Allow HL2 server only - block all others # note: game server ip address must have a \ preceding each dot RewriteCond Referer: (?!hl2:<game server ip address>).* [I,O] RewriteRule (.*) . [F,I,O] There is good technical support at: http://www.helicontech.com/forum/display_forum_topics~ForumID~2.asp Also, as we are running IIS 4.0 on NT4 we initially got an access violation exception, which required a hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;873401 As previously noted, anyone can spoof the referer so it wont stop all leeching, but should stop others from using your sv_downloadurl, for now... Hope this helps anyone too embarrased to admit to using IIS.

And bam, already done. Each request from Source clients to your web server contains the following line: Referer: hl2://<server ip> You should be able to use some kind of apache plugin to act upon this information. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: Alfred Reynolds Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:37 PM To: 'hlds@list.valvesoftware.com' Subject: RE: [hlds] VALVe hide our sv_downloadurl paths! > We will look at adding an X-header to the request. > > - Alfred -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- [ winmail.dat of type application/ms-tnef deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
