Hotlink Protection subdomain + folder

[Angie]

All right. I'm as new to this as I can get. I've read as much as I could, trying to understand as much as possible, but I'm... obviously kinda retardo about this.

I've been looking into hotlink protection. The code

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^.]+\.)+domain\.com [NC]

works for subdomains.domain.com but when I try to access domain.com/folder, I get my hotlink protection. Is there any code for allowing subdomain.domain.com AND domain.com/folder that I've missed? I've looked through as my threads as I could before giving up and posting.

That's a pure regular-expressions question. (There's a nice tutorial cited in our Forum Charter, BTW)

You're looking for:

 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^.]+\.[b])*d[/b]omain\.com [NC] 

-or-

 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^.]+\.[b])?d[/b]omain\.com [NC]

I love you forever. I must have missed it. I'll look for that tutorial and give it a deeper read, so my newbie questions aren't so newbie. Thank you!
