Is it possible to setup a website so that it only accepts requests from one particular domain / subfolder?
If so, how is this done?

-1 for poor question title. I'll vote back up if you edit the title so that it is more descriptive and therefore might match searches for this topic. – Feb 16 '10 at 01:22

2The question itself isn't so hot. How do you accept a request from a subfolder? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Feb 16 '10 at 01:23

Yes. You would just look at the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR. Or, are you talking about the Referer? If you mean the latter, keep in mind it can be forged.

No. An HTTP GET requires an fully open TCP/IP connection, which requires two-way communication. – Matthew Flaschen Feb 16 '10 at 01:35

If you are using apache you could setup access using .htaccess files in the folder you want to restrict. Or you could modify the .conf files and set up restrictions there.
