Referrer error

[Chris Bunch]

I had this problem with one of my users. Frontier expects the http request
to contain the URL of the referring page so it can check that it is a
'legitimate' request. Most modern browsers do this but some older versions
didn't.

In our instance it transpired that the user was behind a firewall or proxy
server (I never did find out which) which was stripping off the referer
field from the http request. I word with the network manager resolved the
problem -- or that what he did after the word... ;-)
