You could implement a queue for requests to ensure you never go over concurrent sessions limit. Keep some stats on it for a while (i.e. how often do all concurrent requests fill and how deep does the queue get) and you'll be able to determine if you need more concurrent licenses to meet th

I agree. The cgi variables are very unreliable. Ajas, you're not the first to do this. Many people including myself have relied on cgi variables for things (not just for security) and have been burn by them.

Some A/V products come with personal proxies (I think Norton is one of them) which strips the referer as do some proxies. Like I said, you need a single sign-on solution. Something simple will probably work based on what I have read so far. -dhs P.S. Shawn, I'd like mine to be foie_gras.

Referer is never a guaranteed value to be passed from the browser. Don't ever depend on it. Besides, any client-controlled data, such as headers, can be spoofed. I wouldn't ever have to login to your app. You need a single sign-on solution that passes a random, non- spoofable identifier b
