"Link Behaviour" is basically tabs versus windows. A referrer is
information that a browser sends when following links or picking up
images to the site where the file is being requested, telling it where
the browser came from. I use RefControl to block third party
referrers, since they are normally not needed, and I do not think one
website needs to know where I came from if I came from a different
host.
On our Website, we fill our database with a lot of stupid entries ...
this was caused by spammers who copy a page of one of our form into
their host, modify it then use it a lot.
The "referer" was our solution to stop the fill of our database because
we test: If the referer is not from our site, then discard.
This is a case of one website NEEDS TO KNOW where you came from.
Ray, when you talk about are "referer", are you talking about an Add-On
to SM or is it a totally seperate function??
Like Alexandre, I cannot say I've ever heard of SM having a "referer"
function. If it does have such a function, where do I find it??
The "referer" is a field of information in the browser's request header,
and is sent when the browser picks up images or follows links. I
described above what it is.
There is an extension called Live HTTP Headers which will show you the
headers that are exchanged between the browser and a web server.
O.K., so as I (and I expect a heck of a lot of others) don't have the
Live HTTP Headers *ADD-ON* installed, I would have no idea what is going
on. Alexandre makes no mention of it, but I guess it is possible
Alexandre does have it installed but doesn't know/remember.
Perhaps if Alexandre were to look at the various screens at
Tools->Add-ons Manager to see if it is installed. *HEY!! Look!!* I do
have the "Live HTTP Headers" ADD-ON installed and enabled. Who would
have known!?!?
