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 otherwebsites. The cgi returns html pages from templates that in turn refer backto the cgi for more dynamic content.I need to allow access to this cgi ONLY to clients from a certain referingURL and from within our site (the cgi will be called by them several timesduring 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 realmprotection) and every will regulate access to it the first time, but aftersomeone knows the location of the cgi...they can call it directly.Any suggestions are appreciated.
