LinkBouncer V1.00
LinkBouncer blocks access to files on your web server based upon the referred web site. This insures that web sites are not linking to your files without your permission and stealing your bandwidth!
As web servers begin hosting more and more data there becomes a need to ensure that such data is not accessible from resources outside of the web server. Ensuring that files on web servers are accessed "in house" by pages on the web server is important because it guanentines that the bandwidth required to download those files is not being stolen. Bandwidth can be stolen from a web server if any web page on the internet links to a file on another web server.
LinkBouncer ensures that files that are accessed from your web server are accessed via web pages on your web server. By making sure that only users who view your web pages can get access to the files on your web server helps reduce the amount of bandwidth required by your web server because it eliminates outside linking and downloading of those files from pages outside of your web server.
Whenever a user tries to access files on your web server they send the web server information about what web page they are trying to access it from. LinkBouncer recieves this information and then determines based upon your settings whether or not to allow this file to be downloaded by an outside source. If access to the file is allowed then the file is sent, otherwise the user is redirect to a web page specified by the user.
