Topic: Bad referer

I write this for users who get any Bad referer error with only firefox.

There are a lot of tweaks for firefox and one of them is below. If you change this settings to "0" with editing about:config or pref.js, it will result with bad referer error.

it would be nice if you add this to PunBB F.A.Q documentation. If not users can find this searching in the forum.

user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 0); // default 2

Re: Bad referer

The next version of PunBB should avoid this problem.

Re: Bad referer

more information for network.http.sendRefererHeader

0
Never send the Referer header.
1
Send the Referer header when clicking on a link.
2
Send the Referer header when clicking on a link or loading an image. (Default)

The next version of PunBB should avoid this problem.

I think so guardian. This is a little detail but it can take time to figure out for new users.

Re: Bad referer

prit: guardian meant should as in will, not should as in it's a good idea wink
The replacement for this is already in place and it doesn't rely upon the referrer (which obviously can be messed with very easily)

Not the best word choice on my part.
