Hi,
In one of my CF 7 applications say Appl A, I have a link to another
application Appl B. Appl B will allow user to access restricted pages in
case he is a referred user from Appl A. In the Application.cfm file of Appl
B, I have this code
<!--- client var for testing the value of cgi.HTTP_REFERER ---->
<cfset client.Referer = "#cgi.HTTP_REFERER#">
<cfif (cgi.HTTP_REFERER contains "mysitekeyword") >
<cfset referred = "true">
<cfelse>
<cfset referred = "false">
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("referred")>
<!--- if user is referred, then set login stuff so user is not thrown to
login page ---->
<cfif (referred)>
<cfset client.login="Referred">
<cfset client.my_first_name = "RefFirstName">
<cfset client.can_access = "Y">
<cfset client.can_config = "N">
<cfset client.can_create_client = "N">
<cfset client.can_config_client = "N">
<cfset client.limit_access = "N">
<cfset client.access_name = "RefUser">
<cfset client.started = "true">
</cfif>
</cfif>
This code ensures that user can view the pages. If user is not referred,
then he has to login.
The problem I am facing is that, when users click the link in Appl A to come
to Appl B, the cgi.HTTP_REFERER is empty which means the code above wont be
executed(referred ="false") and user is thrown to login page. I dont know
why this is happening. Perhaps, it has something to do with security / anti
virus and CF server sets it to empty.
I checked both variables i.e. my client.Referer variable and the
cgi.HTTP_REFERER on the page that is displayed first to user (in this case
login page), and the both the variables are empty.
Is there a way, I could get the value of cgi.HTTP_REFERER?
Thanks,
