This topic describes how to use hotlink protection.
Background information
To prevent your data stored in Object Storage Service (OSS) from unauthorized access, you can configure a Referer whitelist for your bucket by specifying the following parameters:
- Referer Whitelist: specifies that only specified domain names are allowed to access your resources.
- Allow Empty Referer: determines whether requests that contain an empty Referer field are allowed. If you specify that an empty Referer field is not allowed, only HTTP and HTTPS requests that contain an allowed Referer field can access your OSS resources.
For more information about hotlink protection, see Hotlink protection.
Usage notes
- 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 STS, see Initialization.
- To configure a Referer whitelist for a bucket, you must have the
oss:PutBucketReferer
permission. To query a Referer whitelist of a bucket, you must have theoss:GetBucketReferer
permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.
Configure hotlink protection
The following code provides an example on how to configure a Referer whitelist 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";
/* The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in OSS is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. */
