OK, i'm not sure if you guys have a specific forum set up for these types of questions, it's more of an IIS question than anything else. I figured i'd ask you guys because all of you are probably the smartest group of web developers i know.
OK, in my home, i'm running a Windows 2000 server, using IIS for the web server. The purpose of the server, is, i let users of a forum that I post on upload pictures to it via an asp upload component, so they can link them on the forum there.
The problem is, quite a few of the users also like to upload files and link them elsewhere. So I'm looking for a way that i can block all remote linking except for 1 website.
I've done quite a bit of searching, and it sound like this could be accomplished using an ISAPI script, but i don't have a clue on how to write one, or what they consist of.
If any of you have any ideas, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance, i appreciate any help i can get on this. |

here is a good link for you.
I found also that by adding a bit of text to the image to show where it came from prevented people passing it off as their own, a little psychological trick that could add visitors to a site as well. |

| OK, now i understand a little more how it works, but would have no idea how to write one. Would anyone by any chance have one already written that i could look at? |

too bad this one isn't free. The trial version wouldnt' last long for me, maybe an hour. Hopefully there's a free one out there. |

look for something called Streamcatcher
however a word of warning, it is very difficult to do this and may not actually work how you expect. |

Disabling the right click on the page your images are displayed so they can't find out the actual URL of the image may deter some less technical people... it might not be a final solution but could help.
Also, when the image uploads to the server, change the name to something random.
