Hello all

I am using the Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to decide who can
and can't access certain areas of a website.  It seems to be working well,
except for with IE5 on a Mac.  Does anyone know of a documented difference
in how IE5 on a Mac passes the Referer?  Actually, does this information
even depend on the browser?  Is there some other reason why
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") would return different information
from a Mac and IE5 than any other browser/OS combination.  Does anyone have
a link to information about this?

I really hope you can help!

tia,
