Description Ville Skyttä 2002-12-02 16:09:35 UTC 
The current error message is not really very descriptive if /check/referer is
requested, but there's no Referer header (URI scheme "undefined" not supported).
 Should be easy to detect.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2002-12-02 16:11:14 UTC 
This is in 0.6.1, updating after making 'zilla know about that version.
Comment 2 Terje Bless 2002-12-02 20:57:03 UTC 
Fixed.

We now give a /referer-specific error message for this case.
