htaccess: deny by http_user_agent

tim9021 · #1 19-Mar-2005, 14:38

Will this code block traffic with 'Fetch API Request' in http_user_agent?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Fetch\ API\ Request
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

Thanks for your help.

I've seen some code that might work better

Code:

 SetEnvIf User-Agent "Fetch\ API\ Request$" badrobot

 <Directory />
  order deny,allow
  deny from env=badrobot
 </Directory>

I haven't tested this code, but it looks like it will actually work just fine

Thanks, I'll try it out.
