Re: Preventing Image Bandwidth Theft

Ok, haven't heard that one. I usually just hear folks talk about "external
links".

It depends on what you mean by "hot-linked".

"Hot-Link" usually refers to the a URL embeded in the html to read a
file/image from another source/website instead of local file/image on the
web server's Folder. (i.e. <img
src="http://www.otherpeopleswebsite.com/images/cat.jpg";> instead of <img
src="images/cat.jpg">)

Thank you all for the suggestions. I think the http_referrer is the
easier option, however writing a custom IHttpHandler seems interesting
too.

Hi,

Is there a way to detect in asp.net if images are hot-linked from another
websites? I intend to create a default image and serve that image instead
of the image requested from another website?


Kind Regards

Med
