simple.
I'm working with a local genealogy society to allow their members to access
a research facility that the society subscribes to. The rules of the game
are that the society has to authenticate the users and limit the access to
just their members - they cannot open it up to the world. The research
facility uses the http_referer variable to determine if the request is
coming from the society's website.
Well, as far as I can tell, any means I use of sending the logged-in and
properly authenticated user to the research facility's site (HREF,
CFLOCATION, response.redirect) is going to have an http_referer value of the
user, not the website. Since the users can come from anywhere (home, work,
library, Aunt Matilda's, etc etc), there's no way I can see to send a list
of all possible user IPs to the research facility.
Any ideas on how to get out of this pickle? I don't think that CFHTTP is an
answer, since there is going to be a lot of cookie, _javascript_ and image
traffic between the user and the research site. I'm supposed to have this
up and running on 1-July!
Thanks
