I am trying to use an image from an existing website in my html page. The issue is that the image is not getting resolved correctly, Even when I hit the image URL directly on browser, its getting redirected to some other site. I have tried on all browsers but no luck.
I have heard about restricting resource using hot linking but in this case not sure whats happening. Any pointers/suggestions please.
Eg - I want to use image(http://www.acsisair.com.au/wp-content/themes/acsis-air/images/logo.png) but when hitting this URL after clearing browser cache, its being redirected to other website (http://www.nine.com.au)
It's very, very likely a form of hotlinking protection: if you change the URL subtly to make it clearly incorrect, you get a 404 page.
That means when you enter an URL to a resource that exists, you're given a header redirect. That's not an accident.
There's likely nothing you can (or should) do to circumvent this.
Use images you can host on your own site.

We have a website set up using the non WWW version of the website. At the moment when you access the WWW version of the domain it seems to redirect to www.ourdomain.com/index.php?p=index.html.
We are seeing the homepage template but with errors. (e.g. Images aren't loading). Does anyone know what would be the best way to fix what is happening or the potential causes.
You can use your browsers web inspector tools to see why assets like images aren't loading. Quite possibly it's because they are trying to load from the wrong domain.
If you didn't set the site URL in /craft/config/general.php then the URL set in your admin site settings will be used, so check that is correct first.
Removing the index.php?… part is covered in detail in Craft's Documentation so not worth repeating here.
I have in my main website root the file...
lib.php
So hackers keeps hitting my website with different IP addresses, different OS, different everything. The page is redirected to our 404 error page, and this 404 error page tracks visitors using standard visitor tracking analytics do allow us to see problems as they may arise.
Below is an example of the landing pages as shown in analytics by the hackers, except that I get about 200 hits per hour. Each link is a bit different as they are using a variable to set as a page url to goto.
mysite.com/lib.php?id=zh%2F78jQrm3qLoE53KZd2vBHtPFaYHTOvBijvL2NNWYE%3D
mysite.com/lib.php?id=WY%2FfNHaB2OBcAH0TcsAEPrmFy1uGMHgxmiWVqT2M6Wk%VD
mysite.com/lib.php?id=WY%2FfNHaB2OBcAH0TcsAEPrmFy1uGMHgxmiWVqJHGEWk%T%
mysite.com/lib.php?id=JY%2FfNHaB2OBcAH0TcsAEPrmFy1uGMHgxmiWVqT2MFGk%BD
I do not think I even need the file http://www.mysite.com/lib.php
Should I need it? When I visit mysite.com/lib.php it is redirected to my custom 404 page.
How can I stop this best? I am thinking by using .htaccess, but not sure the best setup?
This is most probably part of the Asprox botnet.

Key thing is to change your password and stop using FTP protocol to access your privileged accounts.
Im configuring a desktop and mobile version of my site and was looking to use js to test for browser dimensions and then load the relevant version, however the problem is if someone shares a link from the mobile version and sends it to a desktop user then they circumvented the check. Is there a way to configure .htaccess (or some other method) to have the address bar show 'mysite.com' even though i would be loading 'mysite.com/mobile.htm'? I know i can always use media queries but that has the downfall of loading unused assets, so this method would be alot better.
Use a rewrite instead of a redirect. With a redirect, the browser is instructed to go to another address. With a URL rewrite, the server just responds with the contents of a different URL.
For just this page it will be simple, but it could be complicated, based on your site.
Another way is to include a little JS in every page to make sure you are on the right one for the device and redirect to the other if not. It would help if there was some pattern to easily determine the corresponding page.
I'm sending emails to customers, and I'm providing a custom URL for each, which when they go to, will log them in.
This is fine, except if they are using a shared browser that will remember the URL.
Is there any way at all to suggest to the browser that it shouldn't remember a URL?
Edit: This question has nothing to do with caching of the page.
Have the link log them in once. Then make them create credentials that let them access the site in the future. Whats to stop a random person from typing in the url and gaining access to the content?
Yes. You can redirect them with a 301 or 302. Then the browser won't save the URL they went to. At least that work with the Mozilla based browsers and I would imagine others too.
Another way, it is uglier though is to reply with an error and include a body which does a refresh. Whether that works in most browsers, probably not. However, browsers do not cache pages that return an error (404 Page Not Found would work, you could also use 403 Forbidden.)
Other than that, there isn't much you can do. JavaScript does not allow you to temper with the history anymore...
My website is accessible without www in the front of it in Firefox and Safari however for some reason it is not in Chrome. Is there anything that I need to change on my website host or in the html to make it accessible?
If your website is not already set up to do so, you'll need to update your web host to respect requests for http://your-website.com as well as http://www.your-website.com.
Firefox (and apparently Safari) will make a second request to a URL using or removing the www. in front of it if they receive a 404 error before displaying any resulting errors to the user. (And if the alternate URL works they will display the results of the second request and silently drop the results of the first [the 404 error].) Most, if not all other browsers will just display the first 404 error page.
What web server are you running on?
