FLASH: Flash, IE and Environemnt Variables

[Jason White]

Greetings,


I've been working on Flash <-> CGI scripts.  One of the things we do

with some of our scripts includes security checks.  I check the

environment variables (using Perl, so %ENV) as part of that check. 

When testing using IE recently, I realized that it does not send all

of the environment variables and especially that it doesn't pass the

HTTP_REFERER ($IN{'HTTP_REFERER'}).  While it doesn't surprise me that

a Microsoft product  wouldn't adhere to HTTP standards (I assume this

is due to Active X controls instead of an actual plug-in being used),

has anyone else dealt with this or know of a way to find out the

HTTP_REFERER or of a resource to help out?


Thanks,


Jason
