Well, I for one am sorry you've disrupted our fun. Hmph. :)
I have a standalone that a user downloads by clicking a button on a download web page. My conundrum is, I would like the standalone to know from what website the user originated when they clicked a link to jump to the download page. For example, let's say http://bob.com has a link that says "Go download this thing now!", and the link on Bob's web page is something like: http://thedownloadsite.com/downloadpage.html?referrer=bob It's easy for PHP code in the landing download page to get the information that "Bob sent them" with a $GET. But how on earth will the Revolution standalone know about Bob?
One thought: PHP gets the info and sends it to the download server via a POST action to a CGI on the download server. The download server's CGI parses the parameters and writes the info to a file or database. When the standalone launches on a user's machine, it does a "get URL" of the CGI on the download server, which looks up the data and returns it.
