New Referer System - javascript and perl cgi to the rescue

Jon Udell says:



Stephen Downes' referral system. I'm experimenting (at the bottom of this page) with a referral system kindly offered by Stephen Downes. As Stephen points out, if you'd prefer not to send him your referral data, you can host his backend script yourself, for reasons of privacy or guaranteed reliability. ... [Jon's Radio]


This system appears to have the same benefits that the RESTful SOAP approach has; that is, it's available anywhere to anybody. This one takes it a step further since it's not dependent on Radio or the Radio Community Server. I'll have to give it a try. Nice work Stephen!

This is revealing if for no other reason than to reveal just how deep the anti-communist culture was in the US during that time.
