I want to perform an action based upon the http_referer CGI variable; in a
nutshell, I have a form that I am using for administration. Enter the URL
of the page that you want to administer in the form (template name is
clearpage.cfm), submit it, and I use <cflocation> to redirect to that page
(also tried using a meta refresh tag):
<cfif isDefined("FORM.submit") and len(trim(FORM.submit)) GT 0>
<!--- <meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="0;url=<cfoutput>#FORM.page_to_clear#</cfoutput>"> --->
<cflocation url="#FORM.page_to_clear#" addtoken="No">
<cfelse>
<form action="clearpage.cfm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="page_to_clear">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</cfif>
...the final page checks for the cgi.http_referer, and if it exists, it
performs a specific action:
<cfif CGI.http_referer CONTAINS "clearpage.cfm">
...do something...
</cfif>
However, the http_referer variable is always returned as http://localhost/
without the directory or script information.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Thanks
Pete
