I did not know that. Do you have any documentation on this? I would really like to read more about this issue. Thanks for the heads up.

There is no documentation on this beyond the HTTP spec not requiring that this header is set, so I'm not really sure where I can point you. -Stut

Try using the "$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']" server variable to get

helps.

    Note that this cannot be relied upon. A fair number of proxies and even
    some browsers have the option to remove or not supply this header.

Hi

        This is possibly way too simple, but let me ask just the

same :

        I want to add some code (may be PHP) on an HTML page, to

check

the referrer.

        It has to be web-server independent.
        If the page is invoked by URL X, ok, if not, the page

should not

be shown.

        Can this be done ?
