[hobbit] Problems with hobbit-enadis.cgi from info page

[Francesco Duranti]

I was checking with the help of cgierror.log and yes the problem is the
HTTP_REFERER.
Now I don't get an error but I remain in the hobbit-enadis page instead
of returning to the info page.

It do the same from firefox on a linux machine.
