Hi,

you simply cant depend on the HTTP_REFFERER, because it
might not be present at all (netscape tends to this somethimes,
or the users site have some sort of proxy which filters it out)
or might even be incorrect. Either by incorrect browsers
or simply by faking it. Please note: every header from
useragent can and will be faked if nessecary.

So SiteA -> SiteB can look like it's from Site C

Remember that it's purpose is to Allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the request URI was obtained. This allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance.
