 * Hi, I am creating plugin to help with multisite/multilingual using wordpress 
   network install. When user saves post I need to sync attachments to other blogs
   in the network. So what I did was call wp_handle_upload with attachment details,
   which works really well. Unfortunately watermarking plugin(latest version at 
   the moment) detects that file was uploaded from frontend(it’s actually done from
   admin section).
 * I’ve used xdebug to track down the problem. And it seems that the problem is 
   in Image_Watermark/handle_upload_files method, and it’s there because wp_get_referer
   returns url without domain and admin_url returns link with domain.
 * For example: referer ‘/wp-admin/post.php’ and admin url ‘[http://my-wp-blog.com/wp-admin/post.php&#8217](http://my-wp-blog.com/wp-admin/post.php&#8217);
