So robots.txt is in some ways arguably about the best you can reasonably do, in most situations.
#Direct url to files on different server download#
A malicious user can always ignore the robots.txt file and scrape your site anyway, but unfortunately, there is no way to prevent that: a malicious user will always be able to download any content that you've decided to make available to unauthenticated users. Well-behaved bots and scrapers will usually obey the instructions in robots.txt. You will be forced to rely upon the good will of the bots. Another option is to set up your robots.txt file to kindly request that bots not download the images. You will have to decide whether that is appropriate for your site, or if it is not a good match (maybe you want the web pages and images viewable by everyone). If you are trying to prevent scraping, one thing you could consider doing is making the images available only to logged-in users. What are you trying to prevent? What threat are you trying to protect against? You might want to revisit what you are actually trying to accomplish, and see if there is some other way to achieve it. These two situations are indistinguishable from the server's point of view, so the server has to behave the same way in both cases: either serve the image in both cases, or don't serve it. From the server side, the server has no way to distinguish a legitimate browser that happens to be making a request for an image on the page (a case where you want to serve the image) from a malicious user who is trying to directly access the image (a case where you don't want to serve the image).

Highlight the text (or image) that you would like to turn into a link. Specifying mode is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does not exist, the default umask on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.Īs of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r).

You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible’s YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like 0644 or 01777) or quote it (like '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.įor those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers.
