I have a page on http://lyricslist.com that links to http://song-lirics.com and it is very important that the request to http://song-lirics.com has the referer part of the request intact. There is no id=xxx or whatever, the server at http://song-lirics.com looks at the $HTTP_REFERER to grant points. That works great when on http://lyricslist.com I do a simple <a href='~'>lyrics</a> to http://song-lirics.com, but I don't want to do that. Instead, I link to another page on http://lyricslist.com so that I can record how many people clicked on the link, and then I want to redirect to http://song-lirics.com It's just that with the two redirect methods that I know of (header and meta), the request to http://song-lirics.com gets there with no referer information, as if the user typed in the address. If you want to see it, click: http://song-lirics.com/sl/goto.php/4 You will be redirected to http://dotancohen.com Look at the source code, in the first few lines you will see: <!-- Refferer: User_Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Time: July 30, 2005, 12:36 pm --> No referer! Try clicking around http://dotancohen.com and look at the source code: they all have referers!
