Setting Referer on HTTP request.

Hello. Is there a way to generally change the header that is sent in an HTTP request? Specifically, is there any way to add/change the "Referer" header? I have this page that I need to get that will only be sent if the referer matches a specific URL. I did browse the HTTP scheme but didn't notice anything obvious there. I only saw a field to change the User-Agent. -Bruno

do not know if you can do that with the ...user friendly http interface but you can do whatever you want at the port level. something like port: open [ scheme: TCP host: wherever.com On 6/27/05, Bruno G. Albuquerque <[bga--bug-br--org--br]> wrote:

sorry bout that ... I'll write it somewhere more tolerant of my typing abilities.. ( untested ) base-url: "over-there.com" path-info: "/some/interesting.html" referer-url: http://sure.I.was.there/honest.html request-header: ["GET http://" base-url path-info " HTTP/1.0^/"] "Referer: " referer-url "^/" "Accept: text/html^/" ;... other headers as needed "^/^/" ;need to end header with two newline (CRLF CRLF) ] port: open [ scheme: 'tcp host: base-url port-id: 80 ;... other port parameters as needed ] insert port rejoin request-header close port On 6/27/05, Tom Conlin <[tom--conlin--gmail--com]> wrote:

oh yea .. you would also want a page: copy port before you close the port ... On 6/27/05, Tom Conlin <[tom--conlin--gmail--com]> wrote:

Hi Bruno, On Monday, June 27, 2005, 6:23:28 PM, you wrote: BGA> Is there a way to generally change the header that is sent in an HTTP BGA> request?

If you are doing a POST, add a block after the post data in the custom block: [POST "some data" [Referer: "whatever"]] you can include any header and override the ones REBOL provides by default. If you are doing a GET, use a custom block: [header [Referer: "whatever"]] and so on.
