I recently visited a website where they cunningly used the referer field 
and redirection of it was not present/not suitable to  provide a certain 
amount of security within the site without SSL or any other security 
scehme. This seemed really cool.

Is there a way to do the same thing in Xitami?
What you want to do is only display certain pages if HTTP_REFERER is set 
to an appropriate value otherwise do a redirect to the login page.

I can clearly do this in with CGI pages but I don't think I can do it 
for non CGI pages?

Any ideas
