The Little Guy Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 How come Chrome and Internet Explorer pass a HTTP_REFERER from a swf file, but Firefox does not? I have a script that checks the referer "to help" prevent users from downloading a file (that is not a bullet proof method, I know, but it slows it down). It works in all other "main" browsers (that I tried), except for Firefox (That is a first). So... any suggestions on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Might just be an oddity of Firefox. Got to hate the browser compatibility world. Have you tried using something like Live Http Headers to see exactly what Firefox is passing? Maybe it's passing something else you could use.
