Looks correct, but maybe nginx does not like the ";" in the provided
string? To be true, I never used such an rule. But anyhow this isn't the
perfect solution: You're just blocking Android with version 4.2.2 with
that. When an user has a phone with just Android 4 the if won't work.
Just try that, I hope it will work (I'm just guessing):
if ($http_user_agent ~* '(Android|android)') {

Hi,
I have installed that android app and requested log against my ip
is following :
39.49.52.224 - - [15/Mar/2015:10:40:26 +0500] "GET
/files/thumbs/2015/03/14/1426310448973c5-1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 13096 "-"
"Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.2.2; GT-S7582 Build/JDQ39)"
where 39.49.52.224 is ip of my modem.
I have also tried blocking specific user agent such as Android but
neither it worked (sure i am doing something wrong) nor this is the
correct solution :
if ($http_user_agent ~* "Linux;Android 4.2.2") {
return 403;
}
Thanks.

Hi there,
Webserver is nginx and hotlinking is already enabled but the
issue with no
Referer_Header for the requests being generated by this android
application.
What precautions should we take to prevent this application by
using our
server's bandwidth ?
You have "the requests that you wish to allow as normal". You have
"the
requests that you wish not to allow, since they come from this
client".
What part of the request that nginx sees puts it into the "yes" or
"no" bucket?
Put that in your configuration, so that "yes" does what happens
now,
and "no" returns a http error, or returns a different video
inviting
the client to get your official app.
Perhaps their app uses a unique User-Agent header; or all "wanted"
clients do include a Referer header?
If you can't tell a "good" request from a "bad" one, you probably
cannot
configure nginx to.
