Hallo Mamallan! Thank You!
I tried your proposal. In my example the RequestHeaderMap contains the following keys: 1.: User-Agent 2.: Host 3.: Connection 4.: Accept-Encoding 5.: Cookie 6.: Accept 7.: Accept-Language The key "referer" doesnot exist. Is it possible that this key does not exist, beacuse my caller-page is just a static html-page in my file system? At the moment I cannot test to call my application from a remote host. Do You think, when calling from a remote host, I will get the 'referer'-information?
