FLASH: Try this again...IE and %ENV

[Jason White]

OK...


I posted this before, but no one took the bait.  I've seen some

discussion closer to this and am hoping someone will take it up...

We do some flash <--> cgi (which hooks into a db api for an on-line

course managment system).  There is a generic script which runs

security checks and provides some common functions.  I've noticed that

Flash in IE 5 does not send the HTTP_REFERER variable.  Anyone have

any idea why, how to get it or any other related info?  This provides

for either user frustration (if we keep it tight) or admin frustration

(if we have to bypass the security).  Imagine that...a Microsoft

product that promotes security issues! ;-)


Thanks,


Jason
