Re: Is there a way to get the Referrer information from a
request?
Your web server must not be setting it then. What server
are you using? Write a quick perl script that prints out
all the headers.

Oh whatever. I get yelled at by people who refute all
code but java, people who think perl is fine and hate
java, think pgp is the answer, believe in python as
the future... you name it, I've met some one who uses
only that. You can't win. I just try to get the project
done. Sometimes java isn't the answer.

Can't believe you are suggesting to use PERL here...
Use the SnoopServlet... It does the job for you... :)

It is definately not the web server that sets this header, though. It's
the useragent, that is the browser. And it only works if you actually
_follow a link_, not if you type it into the location bar or whatever.
That reason is pretty obvious.
