SWF in Mozilla-based browsers
Hello.
I think that each flash programmer knows this problem:
SWF embedden inside html site is not visible in Mozilla-based browsers with hotlink protection enabled.
This is because Adobe Flash Player addon for Mozilla Firefox does not send HTTP referrers.
The problem is also known as Bug 410904 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410904
What you can do is to add an additional line inside .htaccess file to detect blank referrer:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
In my opinion the above "solution" ruin the whole hotlink idea - especially as to Internet Explorer...
But what if we would manipulate the headers sent to the webserver, to include the referrer (with the use of AS3)?
I would like to check it out. But I need your help.
Any ideas?
