Referer is not sent on background image on pages such as:
  <BODY background="somebackground.gif"> ... </BODY>
Blocks: 61660
-> imglib
Component: Networking: HTTP → ImageLib
See also bug 96485, referer not sent when loading an image via the javascript 
function "new Image()"

See also bug 69070, which has a list of the ways Mozilla loads images.  Bug 
69070 is about preventing remote web pages from using images on your local hard 
drive, and it might make sense to add referers and CheckLoadURI at the same 
time.

bug 74284 is similar to this, and might have clues on how to fix this.

Is this still an issue?  imagelib recently got a fix to problems of this sort...

I wonder if there's any relationship between this bug and Bug 98890... Bug 98890
happens because Mozilla makes two requests for an image file and doesn't send a
referer the second time.

i'm marking this one fixed.  it appears that a referrer is being sent along with
the request for the background image...

I suspect that the combination of patches for bug #145579 and bug #93015 fixed
the problem.
