Hi,
I am developing a personal site that hosts my MP3 collection. I have a created a nice db and a couple of servlets/jsp pages that access the files and create a playlist according to some parameters from user (artist=Beatles, etc.).
Due to the copyright issues and stuff, I would like to do the following.
1. Assume that my song is in a location called
http://www.mysite.com/music/Beatles/eightdays.mp3 2. Assume that my
jsp is in a location called
http://www.mysite.com/music/index.jsp My dilemma is this.
I would like to give access in
Tomcat (4.0) in such a way that when I acess the URL in (1) from URL in (2), it should be able to do so without a problem, but
When someone directly accesses URL in (1), it should be denied.
In other words, a particular directory in my site should be accessible from the links in my own site, but should be inaccessible to direct queries from other sites (external IPs).
Ex.
Access from IP 1.2.3.4 (my site) to 'Beatles' directory should be allowed.
Access from IP 3.4.5.6 (any other site) to 'Beatles' directory should be denied.
Is there anyway to achieve this in Tomcat?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
