Can you clarify why it's not going into an infinite loop? since it's redirecting to *another* .jpg file -wouldn't this create infinite redirects to the same image? --thanks!RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?yourwebdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .(gif|jpe?g|png|bmp)$ /graphics/stop-stealing.jpg [L,NC] Hi, I’m looking at a solution like the one that replaces the images with a generic one (i.e. “stop stealing my images”).

I'm trying to simplify for some of my clients moving to a cdn platform. for dev I'm using google app engine, just becasue, but files on the prod cdn will be served up the same way. Issue - we would to use .htaccess to have css|js|gif|jpg etc.. files be taken from the cdn by rewrite of the request, so we don't need to change all the php and related files.IE.page is rendered with like to image http://example.com/images/image.gifbut the image should be served from http://example-cdn.com/images/image.gifthe folder sturcture could remain the same, just the domain would change from example.com to example-cdn.comAny idea's?

IE.

page is rendered with like to image http://example.com/images/image.gif

but the image should be served from http://example-cdn.com/images/image.gif

the folder sturcture could remain the same, just the domain would change from example.com to example-cdn.com

Any idea’s?
