I'm on apache server and use a PHP HTTP_REFERER just to check that a few clients are accessing from pre-determined URLS. I have someone inquiring about accessing from a JAVA application. I know nothing about JAVA and I'm trying to find an alternative way to recognize the referring location accessing my php files. (I've also used an .htaccess with HTTP_REFERER in the past but again not for JAVA trying to gain access).
This doesn't need to be a complex "fort knox" solution because I know HTTP_REFERER isn't that in the first place, I just don't want the link being passed around freely in the wild.
?
