    I couldnt log in to morphzone, it kept saying that login is incorrect...

    The problem was that I disabled sending Referer header.

    MZ staff: Argh! You cant rely on that header! rfc2616 clearly states that it's unreliable and not obligatory.
    At least change "incorrect login" message to "disable all privacy settings in your browser" :P

    Eventually, that referer stuff will go away, but I don't have time right now. Sorry. :xx:

    Ok I feel the need to pipe up :)

    I often use a proxy called privoxy when browsing. It will strip referer headers from all requests.

    I tend to agree that referer headers don't mean doo doo ... except to sales guys and porno sites, where linking directly to pics is generally discouraged.

    Having this site disregard them altogether would be an improvement :)

    Thanks pornel and targhan!

    I'de like to remove that http-referer thing, I just have to have to steal away enough time to look for it :-P I'm sure it wouldn't be *that* difficult, but I just have to have the time to *do* it without breaking anything.
