So does Netscape (3.x does it anyway AFAICR). IMHO the "referer" string is
completly useless since it can mean anything at all, and therefor servers
that trust it when allowing access to files are just plain stupid. In case
you haven't come across it some servers that offer "free" (read: ad-filled)
personal webpages doesn't allow for external links to go to the pages. In
one way this would be good, but it often makes them unusable without
Internet Explorer since that browser doesn't do it the same way as Netscape
does.
Of course fixing this would be nice, but it's hardly anything that Michael
or anyone else should put much effort into IMHO regardless that it might
not take much time to add it (atleast I don't think it would).
