> Prevent "Image Theft"
> This example shows how to keep people not on your server from

> This is not a recommended configuration, but it can work in limited
> circumstances. We assume that all your images are in a directory
> called /web/images.
>     SetEnvIf Referer "^http://www.example.com/" local_referal
>     # Allow browsers that do not send Referer info
>     SetEnvIf Referer "^$" local_referal
>     <Directory /web/images>
>        Order Deny,Allow
>        Deny from all
>        Allow from env=local_referal
>     </Directory>
> Note: spelling of 'referer' and 'referal' is intentional.
