Re: [Qgis-user] Referer
Hi Christoph, Interesting info. Although HTTP Referer isn't a GI thing, it's a HTTP thing; far pre-dating WMS. ESRI do similar non-standard things with the standard HTTP headers.

There is a config file with the URLs of the services and also a ”referer” for each of them: the copyright respectively the owner of the WMS.

Hi Christoph, What do you mean by "where will this referer be displayed"? I'm guessing this is the HTTP referer in which case it's probably going to be sent as a HTTP Header with every request WMS/XYZ request that QGIS is making to the server (what I'd expect anyway). I guess this is useful because for "security" reasons some servers only respond to specific referers. The server operator will see it in their logs but otherwise it's going to be invisible.
