Eric Murray, <ericm@lne.com>, writes, regarding Referer spoofing:

What would make sense to use, other than sending "http://this/is/a/bogus/referrer/sent/to/mess/up/your/stats"? How about sending the current URL as Referrer?

One practical idea would be to set up the config file so that whenever URL X is referenced, specified URL Y is sent as the referer. This could be useful for accessing web sites which won't show you information unless (or if) they see a certain value in the referer field. Hal
