Any Safari extensions that allow you to control HTTP referer headers?

I'm currently testing a website that shows users different results depending on how the arrived at the page according to their referer header. Does anyone know of a Safari extension that allows you to define referers for different URLs?

Right now I'm using Firefox and RefControl to do this but I'd like to be able to do it in Safari as well for testing completeness, apparently there is a SIMBL plugin called SafariRefManage that used to do this but SIMBL no longer works under Lion.

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Thought I'd bump this as I found a Chome Extension that does exactly what I need: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hnkcfpcejkafcihlgbojoidoihckciin

And RefControl for Firefox works too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/

But our customers largely use Safari on Mac so it would be great if I could find a Safari extension to provide the same functionality - anyone know of any solutions?
