NAME

Apache::RefererBlock - block request based upon referer header

SYNOPSIS

In the configuration of your Apache add something like

        PerlModule Apache::RefererBlock
        PerlFixupHandler Apache::RefererBlock
        PerlSetVar AllowedReferers "http://www.mydomain.com http://mydomain.com"
        PerlSetVar CheckMimeTypes "image/gif image/jpeg"

DESCRIPTION

Apache::RefererBlock will examine each request. If the Mime type of the requested file is one of those listed in CheckMimeTypes, it will check the referer header. If the referer doesn't start with one of the strings listed in AllowedReferers, a "Forbidden" error will be returned.
