>Description:
When somebody comes to our server via a link, the $HTTP_REFERER gives the correct information. But when I go to a site just bij typing in the URL the $HTTP_REFERER has to be empty, but gives always "http://www.sitehost.nl:9999/apache/"
>How-To-Repeat:
1.
go to http://www.sitehost.nl en view the source. You will see 1 line containing <frame name = 'STAT' scrolling = 'NO' noresize src = 'stats/maak.php?domein=www.sitehost.nl&via=http://www.sitehost.nl:9999/apache/' frameborder = 'NO' bordercolor = '#FFFFFF'>
This source is made by a php-script who places the HTTP_REFERER after "via=".
This should be empty!

2.
Go to "http://www.ilse.nl/searchresults.dbl?oldquery=&LANGUAGE=NL&profile=st&family=no&search_for=sitehost" and take the link to SiteHost. When you look in the source now you wil see "<frame name = 'STAT' scrolling = 'NO' noresize src = 'stats/maak.php?domein=www.sitehost.nl&via=http://www.ilse.nl/searchresults.dbl?oldquery=&LANGUAGE=NL&profile=st&family=no&search_for=sitehost' frameborder = 'NO' bordercolor = '#FFFFFF'>"
>Fix:
No, I'm sorry
