           Summary: Referer not sent on new window, new tab, 'View Image',
                    and probably others
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: rohan mizzenblog com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

Konqueror (or perhaps KHTML - my apologies if this bug is filed in the wrong \
category) seems to never send the Referer HTTP header in at least the following \
situations:

* opening a document in a new window
* opening a document in a new tab
* right-clicking on an image and hitting 'View Image'

Probably there are other cases too.  Note that I am referring to when the user opens \
a new window or tab; I'm not sure of the behaviour when a site opens a new window or \
tab by itself. (see related bug - 23160.  But that bug was closed years ago.)

This behaviour breaks lots of sites.  As an example, see \
http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=5086 .  If you right-click on the screenshot \
and hit 'view image', referer is not sent so you get a nice 'permission denied' type \
image.  (also, it breaks about 75% of pr0n sites.)

Bug 92142 may be a dupe of this one.
