Ryan Said..... Kind of similar to the other posts using CGI vars, but I want to make sure I catch the people that decide to bookmark a certain page in the secured area and therefore do not have a cgi.http_referer variable. Here's an example, I'm sure there's a better to do the <cfif> statement - this was done for speed's sake:
To this I would say that you would ALWAYS have an HTTP_Referer. Because, on every page (or through Application.cfm - if appropriate for your application) you would do a check to see if the user is logged in, and has access to the required page. If not, then you do a redirection to the login page. At this point, the page you were trying to access IS your referer. That said, I prefer tacking the target URL onto the URL for the login page (encoded of course). i.e. <cflocation template="/login.cfm?Target=http://mysite/mypage.cfm";> (with the actual Target parameter being encoded of course). Simply because I have seen occasional times where different browser handle the CGI variables differently (meaning some handle the HTTP request headers differently). So sometimes the CGI variables are not accurate - but SCRIPT_NAME seems to be VERY standard. My thoughts....
