Hi, with firefox there is a difference between http://mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com

When a visitor enters with http://mysite.com and set some session variables. Then you do a cflocation to http://www.mysite.com the visitor gets a new session (thus your variables are gone).

In explorer the visitor keeps the same session, but not in firefox
(lasted me 5 hours to figure this out)

If I use cflocation to relocate to another site, no referer is available on that site... :-(

Has anybody an idea how I could make a relocation where the referrer is passed to the next page?

I already tried javascript (location.href=...) and meta refresh as well - no referer available!

My problem: I have an ad banner with a link to a cfm script that counts the clicks. After that, I want to relocate to that specific target site.
(e.g. www.mydomain.com/link.cfm?link=www.otherdomain.com)
--> the script link.cfm counts the clicks and on www.otherdomain.com, the referer should be www.mydomain.com/link.cfm.

Thanks a lot,
Markus
