Hiawatha version: 7.8.2
Operating System: CentOS
hi, Im trying to use ImageReferrer for a site in our server.

like this:
ImageReferer = www.ecualug.org,ecualug.org:/var/www/ecualug/files/hotlink.png

However, whenever I implement imagereferrer, the site's icon disappear and it is substituted by the "hotlink.png" image.

I have tried using is with and without the www.ecualug.org part (leaving only ecualug.org) but the error persist.

Can you please check this Hugo? I have upgraded to version 8.1 today I will test just in case this is fixed in 8.1

Thanks!

I've checked it, bu the ImageReferer options works. Perhaps you have some setting or add-on in your browser which makes it to not send the Referer header at all.

nope, the error is massive, all users of the forum sees the imagereferrer as the icon.

BTW I have installed hiawatha 8.1 and after a week testing this error has not shown up as of now.

Strange, I haven't changed anything related to the ImageReferer setting in 8.1... But good to hear it works now!
