There is something a little unusual about the CGI scope in CFMX. Consider
the following piece of code, it outputs the variable CGI.REFERER, which
while is should be CGI.HTTP_REFERER, nonetheless exists, and if you click on
check, you will find that it is populated. However, if you do a dump of CGI,
it is not present. This 'feature' exists for a whole pile of variable names
in the CGI scope.
Cheers,
Mark
