Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: HTTP REFERER Error

benchivers Novice Sep 24, 2002, 2:36 PM Post #1 of 2 (174 views) HTTP REFERER Error Can't Post Small Error, I have created a program which looks at the http referer of every user who is using the program for a security reason within my program. Some people seem to have HTTP REFERER disbaled on their computer. What is this to do with? Is there any way of getting round this? Is some settings on the client's web browser? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Ben Chivers Wheres the damn coffee? zzzZZZZZ!!!

There's nothing you can do about this. Checking the HTTP_REFERER is a bad idea anyway as it is trivial to fake. -- Dave Cross, Perl Hacker, Trainer and Writer http://www.dave.org.uk/ Get more help at Perl Monks
