RewriteCond format

for undesirable referer strings

[stefan009]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (string1¦string2) [NC,OR]

Where a referer contains either "string1" or "string2" anywhere in the line - will the above exclude it from my site?

Thanks you.

I'm not too sure of that either/or situation.

I would use two lines, like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} string1 [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} string2 [NC]

Yes, it will, and it is actually faster to run than two separate rules.

Thank you very much, I've put that in.

Someone who knows the referrer logs are kept was putting upsetting words alongside an anonymous proxy. ;-)

I'll "upset" him if I get my hands on him..
