    I have a .htacess with the following

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?site.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) /403.html [R,NC,L]
    </IfModule>
    Code (markup):
    This is supposed to prevent anyone from accessing and files unless referred from the site above. It works fine in all browsers except IE, specifically IE7

    Anyone know why IE7 wont send the referring url over. Or a new way I can only allow access to files from referring URLs that works in all browsers?
