It would be handy to have ability to SPOOF the referring URL instead of stripping the header
explain:
Handy, as in, some sites use "page cloaking" and serve wholly different page content based on user agent and/or referer strings. Conceivably, a site may refrain from injecting a malware script into the page (during your visit) if it suspects your request is from a bing or googlebot crawler.

Of course, previous flash fix and other fixes are included with this patch.
Maybe I will try to put two more of your feature request before releasing
next, final official patch to root directory.

Yes, I have been thinking about adding ref spoofing option in addition for stripping it.
? the preference would expose 3 mutually-exclusive options:
-- do not disturb: allow sending normal/proper referer string
-- blank the header value (or strip the header)
-- send custom string [____] as the header value
I uploaded now another experimental patch that includes four options
for HTTP Referer:
- Send normally
- Remove
- Same as current URL
- Custom
