Pete,

 

 

You should be able to use the HTTP::header command to find this information. The HTTP::header command will return the value of the specified header field.

 

 

The syntax looks like:

 

HTTP::header [value]

 

 

Or, in your case:

 

HTTP::header REFERER

 

 

This should return the value of the REFERER field in the HTTP header.

 

 

More information on this, and other header and content commands can be found on DevCentral in the Docs & Tips section under Tech Resources.

 

 

Thanks,

 

-Colin
