Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by RichBowen: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteFlags/F New page: The F flag returns a Forbidden (403 status code) response for the requested URL. This allows you to conditionally block access to certain URLs. When using the [F] flag, the target of the rule is not particularly important, but can be used for logging purposes. ''' Examples: ''' {{{ RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} "riaa.com" RewriteRule \.mp3$ - [F] }}} This particular ruleset would forbid access to .mp3 files if the remote host was in a certain domain. Or, perhaps, you could use this flag in conjunction with the [E] flag (see ["Flags/E"]) to block requests from the Nimda worm, as well as exclude the associated entries from the log files: {{{ RewriteEngind On RewriteRule (cmd|root)\.exe - [F,E=dontlog:1] CustomLog /var/log/apache/access_log combined env=!dontlog }}} The more verbose form of [forbidden] is also permitted.
