Re: referer problems on new server

hey guys.
are there any experiences made yet in this field?
does anyone operate a cake app behind a proxy (apache or otherwise)

I still experience problems with
a) HTTP_HOST
b) refer(r)er
which can either result from inadequate config settings or because
they might not be handled well from apache or even cake.
I would appreciate any feedback on this topic.
thx
