Writing an Rewrite exception for one specific file?
|

| Hi,
For the past several months, I've been using the following code to prevent
image-hotlinking on my domain:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://subdomain.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://subdomain.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]
That said, it's been an effective tool! Approximately~15% of all
error-codes each month are now "403". One problem though... Sometimes in
haste, I (incorrectly) post URLs on Usenet groups using .JPG extensions when
it should be .HTML. E.g., here's a URL I posted last night:
http://hwy-shields.calrog.com/i-10-pima.jpg
-when it should have been-
http://hwy-shields.calrog.com/i-10-pima.html
....When I make these types of mistakes, is there any way I could redirect
"/specific-file.jpg" to "specific-file.html"?
(FYI--for the time being, I've disabled hotlink protection due to high
demand for the "i-10-pima.jpg" file. So if you access the file today, the
file will load.)
Thanks,
Carl Rogers

Try this - make sure it put it in the config before the above rules.
RewriteRule ^/i-10-pima.jpg/?$ /i-10-pima.html [NC]
HTH,
