[opencms-dev] request.getHeader("Referer") doesn't work in JSP

[mfoley5 at csc.com.au]

Hi All (Alex!),

We are (still) using the Flex version (until we can get v5 working) and
have a problem in that within a JSP the following fragment does not return
the "Referer" header from the request.

    <INPUT type='hidden' name='fromPage'
           value='<%= request.getHeader("Referer") %>'>

This works fine when the JSP is delivered directly by the Appserver, but
not when it's in a URL like:

http://myhost/bcnet/opencms/common/jsp/mailFriend.jsp

We need an "e-mail page to a friend" type function, but this isn't
happening!

Thanks for your urgent help!

Regards,
Mark
