I don't think server side javascript is available on servers other than Sun and Netscape servers, and I think it's obsolete anyways. Geocities is running FreeBSD.

The reason why you can't direct-link it is that using Javascript - probably something like:Oberleutnant wrote:It is, but you just have to delete the http:// from the picture's URL and hit enter.the server can tell that the file request didn't come from a Geocities page. If you copy-paste the link, or even just click on the address bar and hit enter again, there is no referrer so Geocities will load it. Anti-leech system.Code: Select all
if (referrer != "www.geocities.com/xyz") window.location.href = "404.html" else window.location.href = url

Actually, its a .htaccess file, which is probably set to deny if the source isn't from Geocities.Dalton wrote:No...all you have to do is click on the address bar again and hit enter.

No, because it only looks to see if the link-referrer is not from Geocities. If the link-referrer is nonexistant, you can proceed.Dalton wrote:Wouldn't that cause problems with the copy-paste then?Exonerate wrote:Actually, its a .htaccess file, which is probably set to deny if the source isn't from Geocities.
