Faking Referer URL with WebClient

[jehugaleahsa]

Hello:

How is it possible to specify the referrer's URL when using WebClient.
A lot of sites do not allow hotlinking, which is problematic for my
application. However, if I use the web site with the link in it, I
will be able to get access.

Could someone send me an example of setting the referrer's URL?

Thanks,
Travis

Try:

wc.Headers.Add("Referer",http://www.foobar.com/blabla.html");

Thanks! That is exactly what I needed. This little piece of
information is pretty well hidden from the public. Someone should
explain on Wikipedia that is just header information.

This removed the last of my errors. Thanks a lot!
