Put it in the query string of the url you are redirecting to: `print "Location: $second_script?referer=$ENV{'SCRIPT_URI'}\n\n";`	[reply] [d/l]

as noted yesterday, Your problem is that HTTP_REFERER is empty because of a browser implementation. Some browsers don't send it when they sense a dynamic page some do. Some dont send it at all, some firewalls block it. In short IT IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. -Waswas	[reply]
