Yes, it's the referrer. However, I don't remember the exact name that the
container uses for it; the environment variable for CGI is something like
HTTP_REFERER or HTPP_REFERRER, and if memory serves, something's wonky about
the name used. Rather than hand out faulty information based on an
assumption, I figured I'd tell him to look it up in the headers himself,
which will guarantee that he gets the right information with a minimum of
work on my part, which is only as it should be. :)
