Referer anti-leeching technology is a strategy adopted by websites to protect their resources and prevent other websites from illegally using their content. This example determines the request sources by checking the Referer field in the HTTP request header. You can flexibly customize the matching rules for this Referer. If the Referer does not exist or does not match the allowed domain list, the Edge functions will reject the request and return a 403 status code.
// If the Referer is not on the allowlist, access is denied
if(!refererRegExp.test(referer)){
returnnewResponse(null,{ status:403});
}
// Normal request, access EdgeOne node cache or origin-pull
returnfetch(request);
}
addEventListener('fetch', event =>{
// When the function code throws an unhandled exception, the Edge function transmits this request back to the origin
event.passThroughOnException();
event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request));
});
Example Preview
Enter the URL that matches the Edge function triggering rules in the address bar of the browser on the PC end and mobile end (e.g., https://example.com/images/ef-1.jpeg) to preview the example effect.
HTTP request header Referer is https://example.com/t-0123456789/page, and the Edge function responds normally to the image.
HTTP request header Referer is not on the allowlist, and the Edge function identifies it as a leeching link and responds with a 403 status code.
