I use CF5
Try this:
1. <CFOUTPUT>#IsDefined("HTTP_REFERER")#</CFOUTPUT><BR>
2. <CFOUTPUT>#IsDefined("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")#</CFOUTPUT>
1. may give True or False depending if it is the first page you open
2. for most people will give false, depending if you dsl provider uses proxies. I get
FALSE on Intranet and TRUE on Internet.

Unless this behaviour has changed in MX, an isDefined() performed on cgi
variables will aways respond TRUE even if the variable isn't defined.
I just checked this, and yes, the following always returns 'Exists', even
though the variable doesn't.
<cfif isDefined("cgi.momma_said_knock_you_out")>
Exists.
<cfelse>
Doesn't Exist.
</cfif>
you should use len(trim(cgi.my_cgi_variable)) instead.
