Troy, as others have said, it's CGI.HTTP_REFERER, but don't use it if its presence is critical to the application. I learned this when I was looking at CGI.HTTP_REFERER to see if someone had the right to see the page if he was looking for (the logic : if you're logged in there, then you must be ok to see this page, otherwise, out you go!). But our customer service dept got gazillions of calls from people who couldn't get access to what they'd paid for. Our users were a particularly paranoid lot and typically had their cookies turned off and firewalls set on 'stun' and privacy settings up to the max. Those people didn't pass the CGI.HTTP_REFERER to our app.
