Disable hot-linking: substitute image not loading? andrew 06-08-2008

 Hi,

Having discovered a few bandwidth leachers I have successfully
disabled image hot-linking with a .htaccess file as follows:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond % !^$
RewriteCond % !^http://www.andrews-corner.org.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$ http://www.andrews-corner.org/shrek.jpg [R]

But the shrek image does not appear on the leechers pages. Have I made
a syntax error here?

Andrew

Hmmm.... this works better:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond % !^$
RewriteCond % !^http://(www\.)?andrews-corner.org(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|png)$ http://www.andrews-corner.org/shrek.jpe
[R,NC]

Guess I was barring my own image?
