I think the initial request has gotten lost in the thread.
When people are in-game they can type sv_downloadurl and it shows them the
download URL which they can then copy and add to their own server.cfg
Yes there are ways of blocking others from downloading from that URL , but
it would be nice if sv_downloadurl showed ****** instead of the URL to the
public.

And bam, already done. Each request from Source clients to your web
server contains the following line:
Referer: hl2://<server ip>
You should be able to use some kind of apache plugin to act upon this
information.

We will look at adding an X-header to the request.
