Subject: hot linking
once upon a time i didnt mind people hot linking to my images but now that
its slowing things down i need to block it.

im running 3 sites on my own server on my home cable backbone (.5mbps
upstream) using win 2k server and iis 5.0.

ive seen a few javascripts and asp scripts that were almost reliable but i
want something i can apply on the server level if possible.

any help would be appreciated.

The best method is .htaccess:

Fairly easy to set up and very effective. You can even have a seperate
image of your choice displayed whenever somebody attemps to hot-link,
such as a graphic containing "View image at [your URL]"

That'd be wonderful if the guy was running apache. He said he was running
IIS.

Here's a discussion of how to handle hotlinking with IIS

thanks guys.  the only option in that thread that would fit what i need
would be the 3rd party isapi filter.  any idea where i can begin to find
one?  is there no way within iis to set it up globally across the server?

The  ASP technique using 'ADODB.Stream' and 'Response.BinaryWrite' works
well enough.  The problem with most of these scripts is that they rely on
the referer to trigger action.

One solution is to create the asp (as the image source) on the fly - not
infallable, but more reliable than relying on the referer

> but i want something i can apply on the server level if possible.

you'd need to buy or write an isapi filter

such as this one: http://coldlink.com/

also ... check the features in IIS-6.  There was talk of such a thing being
delivered with the server.
