Xml-rpc

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 27.2006

I am using the xml-rpc library from

[URL=http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/manual.php]http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/manual.php[/URL]

the problem I currently have is that I want to check the referer of the request. for some reason however the variable $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’] is empty.

can anyone help me with that?

@bokehSep 27.2006 — That variable (as with all SERVER variables that start HTTP) is so unreliable that absolutely no functional logic should depend on its contents.

@stephan_gerlachauthorSep 27.2006 — ok how could I then implement a control that only certain websites can use my xml-rpc service? I thought about giving out usernames and passwords but this would make it possible to share them which I want to avoid. Even though there is no reason why they would share it since the service is free all i want is to know which websites are using my service.

@bokehSep 27.2006 — Well this case is a bit different because you aren't using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] as a security feature. 95% of the time it will be set. Just allow empty string as one of your options.

Success!
