 Using
.htaccess instead for the task
In the tutorial
Comprehensive Guide to .htaccess, it featured a magical little file
called .htaccess of your server (you may or may not have access to it,
depending on your web host), and how it can enable everything from custom
404 pages, password protection of directories, to disabling hot linking of
images on your server. Well, faced with our current challenge, we simply
need to elaborate on that last point a bit, so instead of- or apart from-
images, JavaScript libraries are included within the list of files not to
be accessed from outside your site.
Take a look at the below code, which is all that's needed to accomplish
the task using .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?wsabstract.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?javascriptkit.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(js|gif|jpg)$ - [F]
Notice "js" in the last line, which adds .js files, along with .gif and
.jpg to the type of files only the domains listed above can access. The
code should be saved inside your .htaccess file, and dropped into your web
page directory.
