Hi folks. Has anyone out there ever had any issues with a user's personal firewall munging up the HTTP_REFERER for a page?
I've got a mailer script which is accessed from a few domains within our network of sites, and sometimes users have been getting an error which informs them the script has been illegally accessed from outside of our domain. The error occurs when the string 'unbc.ca' is not found in the HTTP_REFERER. However, after adding some checking I've found that for users who encounter this error when on a valid form, there is no HTTP_REFERER in the $_SERVER array and instead there is an HTTP_WEFERER: HTTP_WEFERER NQEMSFDULHPQQWOYIYZUNNYCGPKYLEJGDGVCJVTLBXFGGMEPYOQKED I've googled this and this was the most informative piece I came up with: http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20030901/147671.html It seems from this post and the links to the norton site within it that it is the firewall that is munging up the headers and that there is no way for me to avoid this. Am I mistaken in thinking this? Does anyone out there have any knowledge as to whether this can be dealt with?
