Hello.
Basically i want to stop visitors from downloading RM (real media) files from my website. Right now i use a pop-up window with a small embeded real player activex in IE and a real player pluging in netscape. Everything works fine but a simple view-source reveals the location of the media file. I have found a way to stop people from linking to my files but have not found a way to stop them from downloading them.
I have tried using many methods including time functions, http_user_agent, http_referer but there always seems to be a visitor that cannot play the file everytime i try to stop downloaders.
I need to tell whether the user is using a browser and accessing my page from the main website or if they are using a download accelerator utility. based on this information i can then decide to send the realaudio header or not.
If anyone has solved this problem, I would appreciate your help. Keep in mind that i am using an embeded real player plugin. Is there any way i can check if any plugins are loaded in the browser or not. Even though i am calling the files from the plugin the http_user_agent variable holds information about the browser and not the plugin.
Thanks.
