You know I've never even heard it was possible to fake the referrer. I've tried passing env variables myself, tried opening the link with a form string bypassing the referrer (ie "from bookmarks") but the script wants the referrer to be the site that hosts it, I can't figure out how to bypass that.. :undecide:

Constructing a form string doesn't work, that's for sure. Then the referrer is set to empty. Right now I'm thinking we need to go low level (though I wonder how hard the next levels are if this one actually requires this much work) and send HTTP headers through telnet, I'm gonna try that if I can figure out the right commands and sequence.
To anyone interested, according to what Sarah and I have found so far, there's no way you'll get this one without some basic HTTP knowledge so apparently this is where it gets tough..
Hey it was my idea to fake the referrer via telnet, I just didn't know how to do it, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago. What you posted wasn't even related to that, what headers you get from the server is completely beside the point and not helpful at all. Sorry but that's the truth.
Yeah but I didn't know how to construct a proper request until my googling finally paid off, turns out my telnet supplied an automatic double return after post/get strings so I never got to input the whole thing. Found a way around that and then it finally worked.
