[users@httpd] apache directories protect
Hello, i'm trying to protect some directories from people trying
to acces them directly.
What i want is only the web page can access.
I made something with setenvif anv the variable referer, but i
got some problemes with this 'referer' so i tryed another
alternatives.
In my virtual host i put the setEnv newVar and after i put the
directories denny from all and allow from env=newVar.
But it doesn't worked.
I tryed allow from domain.com, and neither works.
Is there any standard mechanism for that?
Thanks!

You haven't explained exactly what you want. A guess: you want to prevent
people from directly downloading images that you are using inline on
webpages. If that is right, then indeed the referer method is the best
method. If that is not right, please explain more clearly what you want.
As far as using env variables, that will not work because env variables
are not passed from one request to the next. Each http request if viewed
completely independently by apache.
Joshua.
