Normally if you’re using htaccess in your cgi folder, it will block spammers from entering your Directory at your Index page level. Of course, you don’t mind if they browse your directory pages but you don’t want them to spam you.
Normal htaccess will have
Limit GET POST
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from
this will effect whole folder but you can restrict access to one single file by replacing Limit line with Files line like this:
Files addurl.cgi
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from
You can change 'addurl' to 'rate' or 'review' or have them all protected by this little trick.
Oh, don't forget to put /Files after your blocked IP list
You will need to use "<" and ">" of course |
