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 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
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.
