And it's even for the spider not to send a referrer header at all. Even in
my consumer level webbrowser (Opera) there's a keyboard shortcut for
disabling sending referrer headers. Blocking based on referrer headers
gives only false security and only hits those who don't know better.
Good point (about spiders). I was actually thinking of "hot linking" when I wrote that. (Maybe I'm mixing up threads... I was talking about "hot linking"... somewhere... just before I wrote that.)
See ya
