Possibly a privacy setting, or, again, make sure you don't have any software running (anti-virus, firewall, antispyware, an add-in toolbar etc.) that has a "feature" that's scrubbing the referrer info. It's possible that software would only support/effect IE, and is leaving Firefox untouched.
Honestly though, the conclusion you probably should be coming to here is not to depend on the referrer info being present for anything meaningful, since there are a lot of things a potential user could have installed, or ways a browser might be set, that can interfere with it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 10:47 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Apache, IE & cgi.http_referer > > On 10/16/06, Snake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Any variable that is considered personal information and can be used for > > tracking purposes may not be sent. > > > > Russ > > But can anybody explain why the variable shows in Firefox, but not IE? > This makes me think there's an IE setting - maybe the security or > privacy level.
