Image protection
Posted by purplefairy on November 30th, 2003

Hi folks ...
wonder if I could pick a few brains out there..

I have been asked to protect bandwidth on an image heavy "Anime" site - the
owner complaining that people are refering to the images and stealing her
bandwidth.
(shes not bothered abot people downloading her images so much.)

Shes running on a windows server - and server technologies are not my
strongest point. I was considering using ht.access but I am told by my boss
this is only a function used on apache servers.

any other ways I could go about this?
Thanks in advance

Place the images in a directory outside your www space and use
response.binarywrite to deliver the images.

There's a sample here http://www.williamtasso.com/components/image.asp This
one is also set up to be password protected so use (case sensitive):

un: guest
pw: visitor

A similar technique can be used to protect PDFs and other non-HTML documents
from hotlinking should the need arise.
