Agreed, in principle it should not be relied upon. But then neither
should MSIE[567] :-)
Besides, today Firefox and Opera both allow the user to set whether the
referrer is sent.
Until the default is changed to not to send it, I'll stick to using
REFERER. If/when the time comes, it's an easy change, and until then
it's no headache.
Anyway, thanks for some interesting points, Rob - I like an intelligent
response. Quoting the HTTP spec to me was good - I'll have to be a
little wary of you in the future :-)
