Shouldn't this return the refering site? When I used it in a work it returned nothing. Am I missing something?

$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} will only return a value if you navigate to the page from an href (get) from another page.<br><br>if you simply enter the url in the address line of your browser, the $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} will be empty.<br><br>it is also possible that a document.location.replace may also have adverse effects on $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} although i haven't tried it.
