Thanks

I believe it's empty. I think we wanted to make sure it was not relied upon for anything since it is easily spoofed.

Well, I wrote a small script that would allow sellers to hide the location of their files for digital good sites.
It was late when I wrote my last post. I meant to ask:
Does anyone know(Pat,Doug,Stephen) what the variable:
--------------------
$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
would return on a return(when the user clicks continue after the transaction is complete)?
--------------------
So I have <input type=hidden name=return value=myscript.pl?file_name=file.zip>
Thanks for the help.

Probably your most reliable answer will come from actually doing it.

*sigh* Fine...
I had some bad experience with testing out my scripts.
Just because I had frequent purchases of .01, the credit card company decided to try and protect the card by canceling it. Luckly it only took a 10 minute phone call.
Just thought maybe I could skip the hassle.

Can you populate your account with $1 or so?
