Preventing Image Hotlinking

Hi guys,

Do you know, does discountasp.net provide a method that prevents image hotlinking (or bandwidth leeching if you prefer). Sure, there is the javascript that can stop someone from right clicking, but that doesn't stop them from downloading your html file and getting the image path from there.

I know there is IIS software out there, but didn't know if discoutasp.net provided that software/service.

Thanks.

Is this what you want to do?

Yes, that is what I am looking for - thank you.

Now, how do I implement this? Does discountasp.net map the wildcard as you stated in your tutorial? I've dropped the code into my global.asax file, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks.

 

Can we do exactly the same thing with ASP.Net 1.1? Joel?


Coz i would like to have my company website mapped as well..

I don't have any asp.net 1.x applications to test anymore. It will work if the global.asax file supports "Application_BeginRequest"
