Hi all,

Question. I can protect a directory on my web site useing .htaccess but can I protect the same directory but only allow access which comes form a fixed URL without the server asking for the login ID and password.

Does this make any sense, I hope so.

Can anyone advise please

Thanks in advance

Keep safe and well

Yes you can. I would not know how to do it with a client side script (It would also not be secure, a user can view your source to get the url) But with a server side languge it is possible. In asp.net it would look like this

if request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") <> "theurlyouwant" then
response.Redirect("anotherpage")
end if

<?PHP
if ($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] == "http://www.yourdoamin.com/somepage.php") {
header("Location:http://www.php.net");
}
?>Must be set before any code is sent to the browser, including <html> etc...
