hide referer question

[tfit]

Hi all,

What is the right syntax for hiding the referer and not being seen as hotlinker?
I tried:
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "Referer: Hide where we've been (Out)"
URL = "(^($TYPE(css)|$TYPE(js)))"
Match = "*"
Replace = "http://someurl.om"

and
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "Referer: Hide where we've been (Out)"
URL = "($TYPE(htm)"
Match = "*"
Replace = "http://someurl.com"

they don't seem to do anything.

URL = "*"
Match = "*"
obviously works, but that also means all other files are referred and i only want to refer the html or php files.

This is a request (out) header. You may not know what the type is until the server responds (in). Regardless, $TYPE() is only for Web Page Filters.

The 'out of box' Referer header filter is

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "Referer: Hide where we've been (Out)"
Match = "*"
Replace = "\u"

Replace = "http://someurl.com"

or

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "Referer: Hide where we've been (Out)"
URL = "[^?]++.(htm|php)"
Match = "*"
Replace = "http://someurl.com"

You will probably want to fine tune the URL Match.

I loved to fune tine the URL Match if I can get it to work. Unfortunately none of the suggestions seem to have any effect. OK, while I'm typing this I notice some changes I will get back to you after some further testing.

Are you sure you want to change the Referer for "html or php files"?
Often, hotlinking is to an object like an image. So, a server may require image requests to have appropriate Referer headers.
