Hi,
Having a problem with following site:
http://daprogger.mine.nu
Page displays ok, but click on DVD covers links on the left and you get
directed to some sort of error page.
Cheers!

Firstly it uses frames (which aren't really implemented). Should
necessarily prevent you accessing the site, though.
As for the error message, it appears that it checks the HTTP Referer
header sent by the browser and dies if it's "incorrect". NetSurf doesn't
send the Referer header, hence the error message.

Bugger! I keep forgetting that frames aren't properly supported.
As for the error message, it appears that it checks the HTTP Referer
header sent by the browser and dies if it's "incorrect". NetSurf

Ok. Is the site wrong to do what it does or is the sending of referer
headers something waiting to be implemented for Netsurf?
Cheers!

They're being implemented, slowly.

The site shouldn't rely on it being sent, certainly. NetSurf should
probably send it, though (it now does, as I've just checked in a patch).
If anyone spots a situation where the referer is incorrectly sent, then
it's a bug and should be reported.
