Question

I would like to block all external http requests directed to a certain folder and allow all internal (from the server itself) http requests.

This is my .htaccess file

# Denied access folders
RewriteRule ^resources* - [F]
RewriteRule ^assets* - [F]

Thanks for helping 🙂

IMHO, it’s easier to put an appropriate .htaccess file inside each of the folders and avoid mod_rewrite:

#
# Restrict access by IP address
#
Order Allow,Deny 
Allow from 127.           # localhost

You can add as many Allow rules as you need.
