Hacker News Reader

I was having trouble using this on Firefox 13 (beta). I keep getting "Invalid referer." dialog boxes when entering the artist in and three "Invalid referer." dialog boxes when going to a Artist Report. The only information loaded on the Artist Report is the Biography.

Just loaded the site in Chrome and works great.

Hey gmig, thanks for checking out Beluga. I just tried in Firefox 13, and I couldn't reproduce the issue. Do you have anything that could be messing with your referrer, like addons? On api calls, as a safety precaution, we check to make sure the browser referrer is correct.

I don't have any add-ons/plugins that change or block the referrer. I disabled the add-ons/plugins I did have and still got the error. Though I created a new profile under Firefox 13 and the site worked fine on the new profile. Must be something wrong with my regular profile then.

Glad to hear it's working for you. Thanks again for your feedback :)
