It is already fixed. I'm currently using this in a script I wrote, assuming it was the intended behavior for Referer. The script does some manipulation on part of Web space, and a URL must be supplied to indicate which part. The Referer value is the most reasonable default value I could think of; used for this purpose, it would be quite useful to fill it even on 'Open URL' actions, hotlist selections, or any other means of jumping to URLs. I haven't studied the rationale for Referer in any detail, but the 'buggy' ibehavior is useful in any case. -- Reinier Post reinpost@win.tue.nl
