halasz gambit

Good morning!
Yesterday i was playing a tournament and met some strange opening named as halasz gambit (1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. f4).
Can you tell me where I can get someinformation about it, especially how to play black against it?
This is a very strange opening indeed. Black just defends the central pawn and is better. Example:
No 15 h3 Ne3 keeps the pawn.
in general, ..d5 is the move against a white f4. For example 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5!? (Kings Gambit, Falkbeer Counter Gambit), 1.e4 c5 2.f4 d5! (Sicilan, Grand prix, Tal Defense).
