Hotlinking my Cascading Style Sheets

Someone told me that another person was hotlinking my CSS file. I was able to find with them using my CSS file. I'm not fine with them hotlinking my CSS file.

Is there anyway to only allow one single URL to use my css file?

I asked the person to stop and told them "you can take it and host it elsewhere", but it seems that they won't listen. I decided to change their background to something borderline nsfw, but that still didn't stop t开发者_运维技巧hem from doing it again. I could start putting goatse and such, but that is going to be wasting my time.

You can use your .htaccess file to restrict the domain.

You could wrap the css in php code and check the referrer.

You can block access folders or files using server settings - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324066 - but if you are in a hosted environment you may not be able to change these settings - you may have to make a request to your host.

If your site is (or supports) PHP, you could put your CSS into a PHP file and include that in the files that need it. Then it would be safe from hot inclusion.
