Dennis, I think the fact that you are on CF5 is probably going to limit you. CF techniques for checking out the header info were pretty limited until CF moved to Java. You might find an ISAPI filter out there to do it for you . This one:
http://www.motobit.com/help/httplog/default.htm Indicates that you can log HTTP header information... Could be a good starting point to see if you are barking up the wrong tree :) I'd be interested in any solution you come up with that is marginally useful. It would make a good blog entry or article. -mark Mark A.

I am trying to detect if a visitor to a website is accessing it through a Web Proxy redirector. We manage a couple free gaming web forums visited mostly by adolescents and kids being kids there are occasional problems that require preventing access, a process hampered by the use of web proxies. In addition we are also trying to limit access to the web forum from school networks which are often bypassed by kids using web proxies. My research has turned up a couple of possible solutions. The first is detecting the HTTP header information sent by the client the second is to use some type of IP list. So hence my questions: 1) Is there anyway to obtain/read the HTTP header information sent by the client with Cold Fusion 5? 2) Does anyone know of a database of known anonymous Web proxy IP numbers and either a legitimate project to keep it maintained or a real reliable company that offers it as a subscription service? I am also open to other ideas as well. Best Regards, Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website design and Hosting Company 690 Wolcott Road P.O.
