[Solved] Blocking the access with specific extension file through browser
Added by shashank about 1 month ago
Webserver home directory is cgi-bin
We have two files which is home.html, header.hf.
Url: https://<ip>/cgi-bin/home.html
Url: https://<ip>/cgi-bin/header.hf
if user request any (*.hf) file we need to restrict in browser by sending to notfound page using rewrite.
Tried like below but below regular expression is not working.
$HTTP["url"] == "/cgi-bin/*.hf" {
url.rewrite = ( "" => "/cgi-bin/notfound.ha" )
}
Which regular expression we should use to restrict all .hf files at a time??

== is an exact match condition, which will not match your shell file glob.=~ is for a regex condition, but what you wrote above is not a proper regex. You used a shell file glob instead of a regex.
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/.*\.hf$" {
url.rewrite = ( "" => "/cgi-bin/notfound.ha" )
}
or more simply use the regex match in
url.rewriteurl.rewrite = ( "^/cgi-bin/[^?]*\.hf" => "/cgi-bin/notfound.ha" )or deny serving all *.hf as a static file using
static-file.exclude-extensions += (".hf")RE: [Solved] Blocking the access with specific extension file through browser - Added by shashank about 1 month ago
Tried the changes but still it is not working. After making the changes every file it is rewriting to notfound.ha.

Please read the following very carefully: How to get support
Then, read mod_rewrite and try testing some alternatives on your own.
