htaccess exclude a page from rule

This htaccess will redirect all incoming traffic to another page if they come from a different domain.

I would like to exclude all index.php pages from this rule so my visitors can still visit an index.php page even if they come from outside of the domain

How can i do that ?

Answer 1

You can just add a condition which excludes anything that ends with a / or /index.php :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(index\.php)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?pirate-punk.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+\.[a-z0-9]+)$ http://www.pirate-punk.com/dl.php?f=$1 [R,NC,L]
