I am accessing a web service using HTTPAPI procedure http_url_get_raw(). Since the access is not coming from a web page it is being rejected because the referer is blank. The web service does have an option to 'Enable Blank Referers' which will allow it to work but they warn that this may allow others to access the web service under our account. If this is not enabled I cannot access even by putting the address into the browser, it must be embedded as a link in a web page to work.

Is there a way to provide the referer? Is setting up my account to allow blank referers much of an issue as all of my access to this account is from behind our firewall?

Thanks,
