I am having a problem with the HTTP_REFERER field not being set when the
refering page is the search results from a form based search (or so it
seems). This is causing me a problem because I am using the HTTP_REFERER
field as a primitive form of security control (the security provided by IIS
3.0 being too inflexible for my needs). Is this a bug or a feature of
lynx? At the moment both Netscape and MSIE work fine. I don't need to use
lynx myself but I would like to know if there is a workaround that I can
give to lynx users.
I am testing with: Lynx 2.7.2 under FreeBSD
