One of the fonts on my website requires me to do hotlink prevention as part of its license. This is how I implemented it using Caddy 2.0.
It wasn’t obvious to me where the @fontPirate block could go. On my third attempt, putting it inside the www.example.com block worked*.
example.com {
redir https://www.example.com{uri}
}
www.example.com {
root * /var/www
file_server
@fontPirate {
path /fonts/commercial/*
not header Referer https://www.example.com*
}
respond @fontPirate "Access denied" 403 {
close
}
}
* It didn’t work at the end; I got an error complaining that @fontPirate hadn’t been defined yet. It also didn’t work as the first thing in the file; I got an error complaining that path was an unrecognized directive.
