The SERVER CGI variable is not what you want. The only way to track this with CGI would be to use the REMOTE_ADDR variable and reverse the IP back to a domain, which will only work for you if you're not sharing IPs. I suggest you just pass the domain name in the RSS feed call.

I've tried a number of the CGI variables, same problem. To recap: RSS file on Server 1 CF page on server 2 with CFHTTP tag calling RSS file With a block of code in the RSS file looking for Server 1, the CGI variables are actually logging the domain of server 1, rather than server 2 like intended. Hopefully that makes sense. Jake Daniel Elmore wrote: >Jake, CF gets the CGI variables from the webserver. If IIS doesn't receive >the referral data, then CF will have a blank CGI var.
