Java The Hutt

I recently had need to go back to a page whose URL was dynamically constructed and decided to use the HTTP_REFERER header variable that gets passed in on an HTTP request. Well turns out IE refuses to participate in such craziness.

This is apparently a known issue with IE. I never knew this because, well, I never had occasion to try using this variable. Oh well, maybe it's fixed in 7.0. Nevertheless looks like I'll be using the session for tracking this info.
