How to hide original link during download ??

[sandip1110]

hi,

Is it possible to mask download URL completely ??

means..

if file is located on

http://mysite.com/file/file.zip

so, is it possible to mask it like http://mask.com/abcd

and when user click on http://mask.com/abcd --> download will start but without seeing original link[http://mysite.com/file/file.zip]

Thanks in advance

Try this ---

Make a file named download.php

And place this in download.php

$file = 'http://yourdomain.com/somefile.zip';

@readfile($file);

Now you can use the link http://yourdomain.com/download.php for the file to be downloaded and hide the real download link from the end user...

mintcold can you explian more how to do where to put it thnkx

 

[toRRfriend]

for wordpress, use cloaking plugin(eclipse link c;oaking), they automatically hide the link

or read my tutorial here


just install php script for link counting/hiding on external(even in free host is enough)

so you can even get the number of clicks or visits through that link...


php script:
http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-click-counter.php

what it do.......??
it is just a script hosted in external site(not possible in blogger, i think you know that)

just paste the original link, it will give the domain used for hosting the script..

Eg:
http://originalfilehostlink.com/jclkjcdlkc

script hosted in
http://yourdomain.com

now after input of original link you get..
http://yourdomain.com/click?124

so when user clicks the above link, it will redirected to originalfilehostlink in server side

YOU ARE ABLE TO DISPALY THE NUMBER OF CLICKS/VISITS OF THE LINK NEAR THE LINK
No database needed, very simple script

[sandip1110]

Any one give me complete code ???

As above one is only working if its a zip file.. if its mp4 its opening on browser no downloading occur

I want like this :

http://awrz.org/download

I am using the same method for mp3 files and it works just fine , so either you have some app installed that is forcing the files to open in the browser (like quick time , real time etc) or you are doing it wrong ...

 

[Lock Down]

He said mp4 files. And the extension tells the browser how to handle it and use it.

You would have to set the header to change the way it handles that file type.

Normal header:

'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
'txt' => 'text/plain',
'html' => 'text/html',
'exe' => 'application/octet-stream',
'zip' => 'application/zip',
'doc' => 'application/msword',
'xls' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'ppt' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
'gif' => 'image/gif',
'png' => 'image/png',
'jpeg' => 'image/jpg',
'jpg' => 'image/jpg',
'php' => 'text/plain'

try setting your header to add mp4.

Maybe like this:

'mp4' => 'application/zip',

Have not tried but it should work.

 

[Lifetalk]

Use this for mp4:

application/force-download

 

[sandip1110]

<?php
$file = 'http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.1.3/npp.6.1.3.Installer.exe';
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
@readfile($file);  
?>

Here is the link to where i have pasted above code.. http://filmyfundaz.com/hidelink.php

added header.. working..but

file name is HideLink.php and also not resume supported.. while this link is resume supported..

I have tried to hide.. http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.1.3/npp.6.1.3.Installer.exe and want to download via http://filmyfundaz.com/hidelink.php this link.. any help

Give me working code here

thanks

If you want resumable links you have to parse the range headers along as well

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="somefile.mp4"');
