I am trying to block access to a particular folder that contains some javascripts files, these are used internally by a cms, but I want to stop the javascript files from being accessed by external sites that use an absolute url to gain access. I have used the following code but it doesn't seem to be working:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?mytestsite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(js)$ - [F]

I have placed this in the cms folder that contains the folder in which the javascript files are located.

Thanks for any help in advance.
