.htaccess - allow java, disallow downloads .class files

htaccess, java, disallow, .class

[Conquester7773]

I'd like to disallow everything (yes including browsers that don't provide headers) except for an <applet> from getting .class file's.

So that a user cannot download them.

I only want to allow <applet> inside of a browser to get it.

Can I do that?

No, I'm afraid it's the same thing. In either case, the request comes from the browser.

You might consider an alternative approach, such as making the applet 'die' after a couple of days, or using a 'loader' applet which destroys itself immediately after finishing to load and start the real applet. I'm not a java expert, so this is a general suggestion, and the quoted words above have no 'official' meaning in java-speak.

Thanks for the support.

That stinks, are you sure?

I have custom php errors, and if I create an <applet> and request a .class that doesn't exist, it say's the browser is Java1.0.2 or whatever bla bla....

I can't get that same information?...

Oh well, thanks!
