Object Storage Service:Use the SDK for C to configure Referer-based hotlink protection to prevent unauthorized reference to OSS objects

Last Updated:Jan 09, 2024

You can configure a Referer whitelist or a Referer blacklist and specify whether to allow a request with an empty Referer for an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket to prevent unauthorized access to resources in the bucket and unexpected traffic fees.

Usage notes

  • Before you configure hotlink protection, make sure that you familiarize yourself with this feature. For more information, see Hotlink protection.

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Initialization.

  • To configure hotlink protection, you must have the oss:PutBucketReferer permission. To query hotlink protection configurations, you must have the oss:GetBucketReferer permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Configure hotlink protection for a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to configure hotlink protection for a bucket:

#include "oss_api.h"
#include "aos_http_io.h"
/* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
const char *endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
/* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
const char *bucket_name = "examplebucket";
void init_options(oss_request_options_t *options)
{
    options->config = oss_config_create(options->pool);
    /* Use a char* string to initialize aos_string_t. */
    aos_str_set(&options->config->endpoint, endpoint);
    /* Obtain access credential from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. */
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_id, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"));
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_secret, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"));
    /* Specify whether to use CNAME. The value 0 indicates that CNAME is not used. */
    options->config->is_cname = 0;
    /* Configure network parameters such as the timeout period. */
    options->ctl = aos_http_controller_create(options->pool, 0);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    /* Call the aos_http_io_initialize method in main() to initialize global resources, such as network resources and memory resources. */
    if (aos_http_io_initialize(NULL, 0) != AOSE_OK) {
        exit(1);
    }
    /* Create a memory pool to manage memory. aos_pool_t is equivalent to apr_pool_t. The code that is used to create a memory pool is included in the APR library. */
    aos_pool_t *pool;
    /* Create a memory pool. The value of the second parameter is NULL. This value specifies that the pool does not inherit other memory pools. */
    aos_pool_create(&pool, NULL);
    /* Create and initialize options. This parameter specifies global configuration information such as endpoint, access_key_id, access_key_secret, is_cname, and curl. */
    oss_request_options_t *oss_client_options;
    /* Allocate memory resources in the memory pool to the options. */
    oss_client_options = oss_request_options_create(pool);
    /* Initialize oss_client_options. */
    init_options(oss_client_options);
    /* Initialize parameters. */
    aos_string_t bucket;
    aos_table_t *resp_headers = NULL; 
    aos_status_t *resp_status = NULL;
    oss_referer_config_t referer_config;
    aos_str_set(&bucket, bucket_name);
    aos_list_init(&referer_config.referer_list);
    oss_create_and_add_refer(pool, &referer_config, "http://www.aliyun.com");
    oss_create_and_add_refer(pool, &referer_config, "https://www.aliyun.com");
    referer_config.allow_empty_referer = 1;
    /* Add Referers to the Referer whitelist. You can use asterisks (*) and question marks (?) as wildcard characters in Referers. */
    resp_status = oss_put_bucket_referer(oss_client_options, &bucket, &referer_config, &resp_headers);
    if (aos_status_is_ok(resp_status)) {
        printf("put bucket referer succeeded\n");
    } else {
        printf("put bucket referer failed\n");      
    }
    /* Release the memory pool to release the memory resources allocated for the request. */
    aos_pool_destroy(pool);
    /* Release the allocated global resources. */
    aos_http_io_deinitialize();
    return 0;
}

Query the hotlink protection configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the hotlink configurations of a bucket:

#include "oss_api.h"
#include "aos_http_io.h"
