HTTP_REFERER header blank

[ndhokale]

Hi,

I have tried the following. I have a link on webpage say, main.html, that takes us to a page say test.pl. I am trying to access the HTTP_REFERER header and it works in this case.

But instead of the link, if I use the meta-refresh tag or the redirect function in CGI.pm to redirect main.html to test.pl I am getting a blank value for HTTP_REFERER header.

Thanks in advance for the answers.
