Hi there, i installed Nuke Sentinel on my patched 3.1 7.4 nuke setup and several users are having problems when trying to post.

The error they get when they hit the post button is

Code:
Warning: your browser doesn't send the HTTP_REFERER header to the website. 

This can be caused due to your browser, using a proxy server or your firewall.
Please change browser or turn off the use of a proxy
or turn off the 'Deny servers to trace web browsing' in your firewall
and you shouldn't have problems when sending a POST on this website.


Has any one got any idea how i can stop this.

Thanks in advance

Tom

It's unlikely to be the browser, since many are having the same problem. Is your server behind a firewall (or running a software firewall)? If so, check what the message suggests.

Yeah its the one line in 3.1 that I thought was a bad idea. Sad

In mainfile.php find:
Code:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

  if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
    if (!stripos_clone($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
        die('Posting from another server not allowed!');
    }
  } else {
    die($posttags);
  }
}


Delete it or comment it out /* */

I can tell you this, while it's not truely a NS issue, that many of the "Internet Security" products mask the http referer or entirely remove it. Norton's and McAfee are two that come to mind right off the bat.

Anyway, I will look at NS's main file to see if there is any reason it would trigger this piece of code in mainfile.php .

Thought I would just add a bit to this after having spent the last few days tracking down a related problem. I just upgraded from Nuke 7.4 to 7.6 with patched 3.1 and Sentinel 2.4.2. Have Gallery software installed and was getting a crazy message:
Quote:
Server contacted, but Gallery not found at this URL ( [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]"


Went thru all sorts of searches and experiments looking at applet code and Gallery PHP code before I saw a reference to the referer blocking code in mainfile.php causing the problem.

So I commented out:

Code:
/* if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

  if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
    if (!stripos_clone($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
        die('Posting from another server not allowed!');
    }
  } else {
    die($posttags);
  }
} */
 

in mainfile and voila. Incidentally, as far as I can tell the referer blocks in Sentinel don't affect this. I turned them off for testing and the Gallery applet upload worked okay, but when I turned them back on it still worked okay. But if I uncomment the block in mainfile I get the problem right back.

Note to Gallery users, this also affects slideshows using the applet method.
