.htaccess - only hotlink 1 page?

[xxshadowxx]

How would I only make hotlink protection available for only 1 page?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://(www\.)?example.net(/)?.*$  [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif¦jpg¦jpeg¦bmp¦html¦php¦phtml¦php3¦htm)$ http://example.net/error.html [R,NC]

It goes to error.html, which is also protected by htaccess, then goes to error.html again, and again...

Any solution would be helpful.

Simply exclude error.html from being redirected:

RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^error\.html$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?example\.net [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif¦jpe?g¦bmp¦html?¦php¦phtml¦php3)$ http://example.net/error.html [R=302,NC]

Note the other cleanups and optimizations -- there was a lot of CPU-wasting junk in there.

The second new RewriteCond allows requests with a blank referrer header, and is recommended. Although it opens a "hole" in the hotlink protection, it will prevent you from having massive problems with blocking users sitting behind corporate or ISP proxies, e.g. EarthLink and AOL. These requests will not have a referrer, and the visitors will see your site as broken and therefore low-quality/untrustable.

Replace all broken pipe "¦" characters in the code above with solid pipe characters before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.
