Will,
Relying on the referer to take a user back after loggin in is Not A Good
Idea(tm). Microsoft's IIS does not send the http_referer when not in a
secure section of a site (e.g. https://) Here is the microsoft article that
tells of their reasoning...

One /excellent/ way around this is to use the Fusebox custom
tag CF_ReturnFuseAction by Steve Nelson. You don't even need to use any
other part of Fusebox. It works like a charm in both IE and Netscape. You
can find the tag on the Fusebox sit (www.fusebox.org) or in Allaire's Dev
Exchange
