The problem is a buggy browser that decides to submit http:// or some other
non-empty garbage for a referrer. manual.php gives absolute URL for the
search results to bounce you back to the mirror if you search from the
mirror. If the referer is set and is non-empty, it prefixes with the suplied
referer, otherwise, it prefixes with http://www.mysql.com/doc/. We will add a
stricter sanity check for the referers to work around the bugs in some
browsers. Unfortunately ( or maybe fortunately), all of our browsers either
submit the correct referer ( Netscape) or do not submit one at all (
Konqueror), so the fix will be hard to test.
