Details
User-Agent:
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
I have a membership at a site that makes heavy use of the "HTTP_REFERER" string to
restrict access to their pages. While, using Firebird 0.8, I can get access and
can view the pages, I cannot save either a page or individual images.
The error I get is "The link could not be saved, it may have been removed or had
it's name changed." I should point out that the image does display on the page
but trying to save it gives the error above and trying to use View Image results
in a server error about "Authentication Failed; HTTP_REFERER not enabled"
This doesn't not happen when using either Mozilla 1.6 or Firebird 0.7
Hope this helps

Do you know of any pages that use HTTP_REFERER that aren't password protected,
that we could use as a test case?
If not, are you able to view the page source on one of the pages, then copy it
and produce a very simple test case from that? :)
Thanks!
Perhaps, this bug is related to bug# 235142.
