| Subject: | HTTP REFERER not set in Internet Explorer |

Hello, I am writing a secure application that tracks users on a website by use of HTTP_REFERER. But see like Internet Explorer is not properly populating this field. Visit the following website using IE and Firefox. http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/referer_test.php And click on the Link that says "Click Here" With Firefox, the correct HTTP_REFERER will be displayed after you click the link. But with I.E. the HTTP_REFERER is set to blank. Has anyone ran into this issue? How did you make your application compatible with both I.E and Mozilla based browsers? Because of some security concerns I need the HTTP_REFERER to be set correctly. If it is not possible, I will have to restrict my users to a Mozilla based browser. -- In Peace, Saqib Ali http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/ Consensus is good, but informed dictatorship is better.
