This is quite normal. You cannot rely on the referer exisitng as so many things stop this data being transmitted. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, proxy servers, firewalls to name a few
Russ -----Original Message----- From: Matt Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 October 2006 23:46 To: CF-Talk Subject: Apache, IE & cgi.http_referer On my laptop, I can't get IE to give me output for cgi.http_referer. A dump of CGI shows it as a variable, but with empty string. Anyone else run into this? Sample code: <a href="#CGI.HTTP_REFERER#">Cancel</a> Real issue here is to go back one page, but to force that page to reload. So a simple history.go(-1) doesn't do the reload. Other ideas? -- Matt Williams "It's the question that drives us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256858 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
