I’ve migrated our image server from apache to lighttpd, it certainly feels a bit faster, but preventing hotlinking is not as easy as with apache.

The standard documentation only tells you how to deny access to images when hotlinked, but I want people to know that they’re hotlinking images. So I needed any hotlinked image to be responded with a “don’t hotlink”-image.

It was a bit of struggle trying to find the right syntax, but I finally succeeded. This is doing it’s work great
