>I already expressed my feedback on it. So others know, this is a standard variable and shouldn't be made hidden by any network. Some specific modules need that recognition on the site here and this value should be released.

Michel,
That's one of the most ridiculous arguments I have ever heard.

The HTTP_REFERER variable is an optional part of the HTTP spec. As such, you can not be guaranteed that it will exist for your purposes. Since it is an optinal part of the specification, you can't dictate that it be made available. Network admins can do whatever they want/need to do with respect to their networks.

Why do you need this field anyway for the Wish List. One of its purposes is to help prevent hijacking of your material. If the referring URL is not from your website or a trusted one, then you can deny access to a protected resource on your site.

However, the Wish List does not fall under this category, IMO. It should be made freely available to anyone from anywhere. And this is especially true since MS has deemed that it be the central repository for all such information.¹ There are other sources for Wish List items but this one is mentioned the most.

My $0.02.

¹MS has their reasons for this, the most importatnt, I think, is that the data can be downloaded via an XML stream and pumped into their systems.
