This can work however, I have experienced users coming from
networks which BLOCK the CGI variable.
I was using the HTTP_REFERER for validation purposes.
Without the variable I could not validate the data.
Thus another solution had to be developed.
So keep in mind, even with CGI.HTTP_REFERER variables
your figures will not be completely accurate.
