Donnie:
The "Referer" header is optional. HTTP Clients are not required to send
the
header or, if they do, are not required to be truthful about the data
specified by the header. Additionally, a lot of systems along the path of
the HTTP connection (firewalls, gateways, etc.) can strip the header
before
it reaches your server. In short, don't rely on the HTTP_REFERER value.

Subject: CGI.HTTP_REFERER is blank!
I am trying to check the CGI.HTTP_REFERER variable to keep outside sites
from submitting forms; however, I have seen some strange things. The same
form on one computer when the form is submitted will have data in
CGI.HTTP_REFERER and on another computer, CGI.HTTP_REFERER is blank. Any
ideas of what might cause this? Are there certain settings in a browser
that might cause this?
Thanks.
