Can someone please explain why this is important?
I've been running websites since 1993 and know perfectly well how
the HTTP protocol works. I know what a referer is and what
typical webserver logfiles look like. The referer URL is in
there. If it is a Wikipedia URL, why is that bad? What is the
problem we are trying to solve here? Please describe the scenario
where this can be harmful.
perverted-justice.com is redirecting all hits referred from Wikipedia
to an attack page. Nevertheless they're notable and their URL should
be in their article.
