The problems I'm facing is how to prevent hotlinking from within a website. What I want to do is to block www.website.com/user/xxx from hotlinking a CSS, but allow www.website.com/user/aaa to use the CSS using .htaccess.

-Both user xxx and user aaa is using www.mywebsite.com/css.css css file, I only want to allow user aaa to be able to use it and not user xxx

What I manage to come up with so far is is putting a .htaccess in www.mywebsite.com to only allow user aaa to hotlink the css.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.website.com/user/aaa [NC]
RewriteRule \.(css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ http://website.com/donotsteal [NC,R]

When I put this into the .htaccess it blocks both www.website.com/user/xxx and www.website.com/user/aaa from hotlinking the css

What I want to do is allow only this page www.website.com/user/aaa to use the css and block anything else from hotlinking it.
