Re: [Gitstat-devel] New code that uses HTTP_REFERER doesn't work for me

[<jun...@gm...>]

I used domain name instead of 'chart.php' at tree.celinuxforum.org.
I made some plan to make variable for domain name in config.php and to
check that variable.
and I tested on MSIE and firefox 2.0 and 1.0.
but, so it seems to be some problem. As has been mentioned it cannot be trusted.

I have read your e-mail about a solution with DB,
but, there is some downside.
if 'chart.php' takes long time or server have  traffic, some user
could leave chart page.
in case of that, chart-table had been created and and couldn't be removed .
but I thought that it works fine in many case .

If you could make patch for this ,it could be better solution.
could u make it for gitstat user?
Thanks,
