I want to protect my flash video from robot downloaders to save on bandwidth. I created a captcha that must be entered on the page that contains the flash .swf which loads and plays the .flv video. The captcha is done in a PerlAccessHandler. Also in Apache, I tried to place a restriction on the directory containing the .flv files by doing a RewriteCond on the HTTP_REFERER. However, there is no referer passed and I've since read that it can easily be spoofed. So I'm looking for a more cleaver way of restricting access to the flash directory, while still allowing the .swf to read the .flv files. So far every restriction I've put on the directory also prevents the videos from loading in the .swf player.
Any ideas? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/secure-media-files-without-http_referer-tp18243032p18243032.html Sent from the mod_perl - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
