Hi all what I'm trying to do is verify that a perl script on our web server is only called by someone clicking on a link from a partner web site and not just by calling the script directly by, for example, by just typing the url into their browser.
We are using the CGI module in our script and I use %Vars and %ENV to get the environment variables which exist when the script is called. But how can I access the IP address of the calling web site. The variable REMOTE_SERVER and the function call remote_host() both seem to send me the ip address of the client who has clicked on the link as opposed to the ip address of the server that is hosting the link. Sorry if this is a bit garbled this issue has just come up and we nned to sort something quickly. Any suggestions about how to get the ip address of a refering web site much appreciated TIA Bill Apologies if this posting appears more than once but the list doesn't seem to be working so I sent the message twice. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
