( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I needed a quick script to provide 'Anti-Leeching' for some of my files. (Leeching is a method of stealing someone else's bandwidth by linking to their files instead of downloading the files to your own site.)

After several iterations, I finally have something that works pretty well for my .zip files.

Just put the hostname and the IP in the @HOSTS array for all your hosts that will use this script. As merlyn mentioned in one of his articles, everyone has a drawer where they keep miscellaneous items, this one belongs in your virtual drawer for that time when you need a quick anti-leech sub.

What time is it? It's Camel Time!

Update: changed grep pattern because of merlyn's comment about reverse DNS. Thanks merlyn!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw/:standard/; $|=1; my $DIR = param('d') || './'; # default dir my $FILE = param('f') || 'xyz.zip'; # default file my @HOSTS = ( 'www.myotherhost.com', '10.0.0.2', 'www.myhost.com', '10.0.0.1', ); print header('text/plain'), "No access to $FILE" unless DownloadFile($DIR, $FILE, \@HOSTS); exit 0; sub DownloadFile { my ($dir, $filename, $hosts) = @_; my $remote = remote_host(); #### the following is bad because it is not an exact #### match nor is it anchored #### return(0) unless grep /$remote/, @$hosts; # the following suggested by [merlyn] return 0 unless grep $remote eq $_, @$hosts; my $filesize = -s "$dir/$filename"; # print full header print "Content-disposition: filename=$filename\n"; print "Content-Length: $filesize\n"; print "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n"; # open in binmode open(READ,$filename) || die; binmode READ; # stream it out binmode STDOUT; while (<READ>) { print; } close(READ); # should always return true return(1); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
