netzoner,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Please post your code so we can discuss it.

I suspect you're trying to implement access control based on HTTP_REFERER. I should warn you that this method is unreliable at best. A cookies-based access control system is a much better approach, if you're comfortable with the methods needed to implement it.

this is the code

[code]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://(www\.)?example.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!^http://(www\.)?dev.example.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif¦jpg¦jpeg¦bmp¦exe¦zip¦rar¦ace)$ http://example.com/vb [R,NC]
[code/]

A cookies-based access control system is a much better approach

can you tell me more about this methode and if its better thin htaccess i want to use it
