Fair enough, what do you suggest as an alternative? I've used this a few times for forwarding back to the referer and found any huge problems. I can see how if something removed the header that could cause problems, but cant see what would be achieved by a firewall or proxy messing around like this would achieve. The only other suggestion i would make if this were an issue is use separate action mappings for each point of entry..
