How to get complete URL Referer

virtualweb · #1 December 13th, 2008, 05:50 PM

Hello:

Im working on a script that needs the complete URL referer to proceed accordingly to variables included after the question mark on the previous URL.EXAMPLE

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

cgi-bin/myscript.pl?first_variable=YES

But the following Environment Variable

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}

Only prints the URL up to the question mark

Any Ideas..??

For the query sting use $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} which will get your everything past the '?'

What you want is to use the CGI module to parse the query string. There are a lot of security issues running scripts as a CGI and blindly importing everything sent via 'post' or 'get' or other method is unwise.

This is very true and it is easy too.
