$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} and JavaScript

[redstarfcs1]

I call a script using javascript..but I can't read the $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};

How to get the page that calls my script?!

are you saying in PERL the HTTP_REFERER is blank?

Thats because HTTP_REFERER is not robust and you would need to do something like submit the form to the PERL script or use a proper anchor HREF.

Also many browser withold this info anyway.

I want to read the metatags of that page, which called my cgi script. It's all I want to do..but HOW?!

i'm not sure if metatags are available in the enviroment variable, someone else needs to answer that i'm afraid.

I don't need to be available in Env. I have a script which called them..I only want to know which page call the script which read metatags..

the page calling the script is in HTTP_REFERER, but it is unreliable, i don't know of anywhere else you can get the info on the page which called your script.
