Test Page for refspoof.mozdev.org
the element we are interested in
the HTTP_REFERER
"http header" element that got sent to receive this page was:
test the embedded referrer
(if the R-button is set to green/red no embedded referrer will be sent
["network.http.sendRefererHeader" is set to 1])
test if an embedded picture is shown
small refspoof gimmick
if you click this normal http:// link (and the R-button is set to green):
http://refspoof.mozdev.org/referrer.php
the actual page url will be sent -- means that HTTP_REFERER: is http://refspoof.mozdev.org/referrer.php
where if you use the hxxp:// link:
hxxp://refspoof.mozdev.org/referrer.php
no referrer will be sent -- means that HTTP_REFERER: is ""
-- useful if you dont want the linked to
site know where you came from
btw referer is a common misspelling of referrer that made it into the
http rfc
.. some say it's intentional
