I've a website and i'm trying to block direct access to 2 specific folders and inside files, except for internal requests. I already tried using: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}, RedirectMatch and Deny/Allow rules.

They work fine blocking the direct access but local requests are blocked too and trying to put "localhost","127.0.0.1" or "127.0.0.1::1" as an exception doesn't work, so the result is that my index page can't access essential files like main CSS. Any ideas?

Your question is not clear. If you want to block access to the folder containing css then you will not have access to it. css files are fetched by the browser and need to be accessible – JoshKisb Dec 18 '17 at 13:12
Set up a different virtual host for localhost in your web server configuration. – Roland Weber Dec 18 '17 at 13:55
@NikolaLukic No, that doesn't help me. – gianprito Dec 18 '17 at 15:10
@JoshKisb I want that my index can reach that css file but the others can't with the direct url. – gianprito Dec 18 '17 at 15:13
@RolandWeber Can't do it, i bought this host, i don't have that power. – gianprito Dec 18 '17 at 15:13
if you use url in index then that means it needs direct access. for example `` the browser will fetch main.css from the url directly when it encounters that line – JoshKisb Dec 18 '17 at 15:21
@JoshKisb I see, so isn't a request from localhost but from visitor IP. Any alternative? – gianprito Dec 18 '17 at 17:05
