Comment (by Stagger Lee):

 Math Captcha has functions.php snippet for this .htaccess code. I could
 not see it is for overwriting own code inside .htaccess.

 Is it possible to use .htaccess code inside functions.php ? How it goes
 with priority ?
 I am asking because it would be nice to use this snippet in functions.php.
 Hate when .htaccess gets overwritten when you click Save in permalinks
 options.

 This is code from Math Captcha:


 {{{
 public function block_direct_comments($rules)
         {
 if(Math_Captcha()->options['general']['block_direct_comments'])
                 {
                         $new_rules =
 <<<EOT
 \n# BEGIN Math Captcha
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post.php*
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}.* [OR]
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
 RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
 </IfModule>
 # END Math Captcha\n\n
 EOT;

                         return $new_rules.$rules;
                 }

                 return $rules;
         }
 }}}
