You have to configure your server with modules or scripting or whatnot; if you can only upload files, you're toast. And even once you've got that working, your users behind Referer-stripping firewalls are left high and dry. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
