Hi

Just come across something very wierd (at least in my opinion) with 
regards to posting a form from https to an http address.

The wierd part is the referer is not included, but only with this 
particular direction - http -> http, https -> https and http -> https 
are all fine.

I've never encountered this before, so I'm not sure if it's actually 
supposed to do this or not, so I'm asking if anyone here knows why 
and/or can give me a link to the explanation...

Thanks
Darryl
