Referrer information not sent with a Flash http request
Issue
When using an http request (for example, through the use ofloadMovie(), getURL() orloadVariables()) from a Flash SWF, the "referrer" information is not included in the header.
Reason
An http link will send additional data inside the header of its request. One example of this data is the referrer information. The http referrer information includes the page where the link was activated. This information is used frequently by hosting companies to track what sites incoming hits are coming from.
Currently the SWF format does not include HTTP referrer information when sending http requests. Macromedia is aware of this issue and is considering possible future solutions.
Solution
Currently there is no workaround to this issue.
