http referer and header location problem

**eurusd** · 12-19-2008 12:59 PM

On site site1.com and many others people use ip showing gif
<img src=site2.com/yourip.gif>

I want to redirect from site2.com to site3.com

Code:


Header("Location: site3.com/newip.php");

But how to change or blank $REFERER, so site3.com sees as referrer site2.com or blank?
Any Ideas? Is there any trick to that?

Code:


unset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

I don't know if it works but you can try it

hmm, did you try it?

I think that the referrer is sent by the browser to the server in the request
something like:

Code:

GET /index.php
REFERRER dom2.com/index.php

The server itself would never know on which page the browser just left.
