Hi,
Not sure if this belongs here or in the perl forum...
I'm using several cgi scripts which use $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} in some part of the code. I recently discovered that after installing Norton's Personal Firewall that these scripts stopped working.
Having read somewhere that there was a conflict between this firewall and environment variables, I tried to access the scripts after disabling the firewall, and sure enough, everything worked fine.
Other than trying to find alternate scripts to replace the ones I'm using; or warn users to temporarily disable the firewall if it's installed and if they want to access the script; does anyone have any suggestions on how to circumvent this problem?
Thanks,
ronzo
