texte = I really need a web server that allows or denies based on the referer, but...I have a cgi that i need to allow visitors access to from certain other websites. The cgi returns html pages from templates that in turn refer back to the cgi for more dynamic content.I need to allow access to this cgi ONLY to clients from a certain refering URL and from within our site (the cgi will be called by them several times during a session).This is proved to be difficult because the protection needs to be like 'allow or deny based on user and password' (like basic server realm protection) and every will regulate access to it the first time, but after someone knows the location of the cgi...they can call it directly.Any suggestions are appreciated.
