| How do I block direct image requests like "http://www.server.com/image.jpg" ??
So they can only be server by browsing site.

You cannot reliably block them entirely without also blocking occasional
"browsing" requests. However, an easy way to discourage direct links is:
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer ^http://example.\com legitimate_referral
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$">
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=legitimate_referral
</FilesMatch>

| My Apache web server, which has been patched to support PHP, is not
displaying any grpahics (GIF or JPG). Any ideas? Thanks.
