How are you composing your requests?

If you are writing raw HTTP to port 80 then why not put Referer into the HTTP Request as per the RFC ?


PS: This site helps you see it from the server's perspective:

Thank u for u reply. i am making a few types programs that they make diffrent types of request. They are mainly dealing with real audio files such as open media file and loading file inside a webbrowser control in my vb6 form. Some of types of request are as follows:

inet1.OpenURL,
inet1.Execute,
GET (Retrieve data from the server.)
HEAD (Retrieve header only from the server)
Inet1.GetChunk
Inet1.ResponseInfo
