Stop a site from catching fake referers

Initially, I added
$SET(0=f_refer.)$SET(sReferF=http://news.google.com/)
to a list. This says: fake the referer everywhere with http://news.google.com/. With this entry the haaretz page opened without overlay or bot alert. Same behavior for
www.haaretz.co.il/ $SET(0=f_refer.)$SET(sReferF=http://news.google.com/)
but I have not clicked a lot of links.

The set blocks or modifies a number of scripts and overrides some javascript elements. Cookies are also blocked and modified. I'm not sure which filters are providing the page but the site does appear to use headers, scripts, and cookies to restrict access.

To see what you reported, I loaded the Proxomitron's original default filter set, disabled some filters, and added your filter. I did not add a url match, since I hadn't needed one before (sorry it was late). Incorrectly guessed that the referer needed more details, reported findings, and went to bed.

Although $TYPE is not available in header filters, the file's extension (say .htm) and content-type header (via $IHDR) may be available.
