mod rewrite and mp3 files problem

Blocking direct access and download MP3 files blocks Flash-MP3 player

[Hcharly]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get some MP3 files safe in the web environment, using rewriteCond and rules.
The following htaccess seems to block the mp3 downloading and browsing, but the Flash-MP3-player embed in the site, cannot play no more the files. I just need to block the manipulation of these files outside of the web scripts.
I need a help to solve this matter. Sorry for my english.
I've been trying alone since 5 hours.

Thanks so much.

<htaccess>
Options FollowSymLinks
# mod_rewrite in use

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_URI}!^http://mysite.com/test/index.php$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_URI}!^http://www.mysite.com/test/index.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.mp3$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/test/component/option,com) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/¦\.htm¦\.php¦\.html¦/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(content/¦component/) index.php

</htaccess>

Delete the [OR] flag from your first RewriteCond -- You want to block if the request is (NOT from yourdomain) AND (NOT from www.yourdomain). Also, SCRIPT_URI is not the correct server variable -- it will contain the directory-path and filename of the requested image, which is not what you want.

I'd suggest you rewrite the whole things as:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?example\.com/test/index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule .mp3$ - [F] 

This code allows blank referers -- an unfortunate necessity. This is described in detail in hundreds of previous threads [google.com] here.
