hot link protection for animated gif

[athora]

Hello,

I want to protect my animated .gif format images from hot linking.

So i add these to .htaccess as usual.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?free****.info [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif)$ http://free****.info/index.php [NC,R,L]

Its, working on normal .gif images, But not with animated .gif images.

Any advice ??????

Thank you!

RewriteRule .*\.(gif)$ http://free****.info/index.php [R,NC]
