[REBOL] Re: Setting http referer field question

Hi, Dick,

If you are looking to post a form and include a Referer field in that post,
then Martin Johannesson's script at:
http://www.rebol.com/library/script-web.html
under "http-post.r"
can be readily hacked to achieve the result.  Simply change the definition
for HTTP-Header.  Currently it is:

HTTP-Header: make object! [
        HTTP-Response: Date: Server: Last-Modified: none
        Accept-Ranges: Content-Encoding: Content-Type: none
        Content-Length: Location: Expires: Referer: Connection: none
    ]

change it to whatever for Referer, such as:

HTTP-Header: make object! [
        HTTP-Response: Date: Server: Last-Modified: none
        Accept-Ranges: Content-Encoding: Content-Type: none
        Content-Length: Location: Expires: none
        Referer: http://www.thissillydomain.dom
        Connection: none
    ]

Then send the post command, such as:

 tmp: http-post-form
http://www.anothersillydomain.dom/cgi-bin/a-post-query.cgi reduce
["field-name" "field-data"]

then check the response by inspecting the tmp object.  This method worked
like a charm on my test set-up.

Hope this both helps and saves you some time.
