[Xitami] security - restricting access to certain files

[M. Jason Smiley]

with plain xitami (no php, perl, etc)... is there a way to restrict certain
parts of the website to only be viewed if the visitor comes from a certain
referred link? for example - i have small pics i use for avatars on
webforums...  but i find many leachers hotlinking my images. is there a way
i can restrict this in xitami or do i have to use some scriptings.

basically i want to control people hotlinking my images. i'd also like to
make some images only viewable from certain sites (say i post in image on a
forum, people can see it if they visit the thread, but if they just browse
my website or try to hotlink the image elsewhere, the image won't show). i
dont' think a webmask will work for that. any ideas or input?

thanks!
