 i run a hidden service website, and occasionally check the apache log to
 see what content is popular. yesterday i saw something that never appeared
 before, referring page data. here is an example (onion address munged to
 protect referring page):

 127.0.0.1 - - [28/Dec/2013:02:11:48 -0700] "GET /weblog/index.html
 HTTP/1.1" 200 5302
 "http://mungetheoriginad.onion/index.php?cat&cid=5&sid=mungethis2userkeyblah0"
 "Mozilla 5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox 24.0"

 at first i thought it was just somebody using a poorly configured browser,
 and not TBB... until i tried it myself, and my TBB 3.5 left referring page
 data as well
