Are you using =..htaccess to redirect to https ?

I use this to force https and all is =good with the referee:

## Force SSL

RewriteCond =%{HTTPS} !=3Don

RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=3D301]

Kind regards

Putting =[referrer] in your template displays the URL of the
referring page that led to this one. This is a handy way =to
give visitors a "back up" button.

Note: this will not work if the previous page was a FORM
METHOD=3D"POST"

This ="method=3Dpost" limitation is not the cause of my problem.
In my situation "method=3Dget" is being used via simple =links
that look like this:

http://www.domain.com/thePage.dna?code=3D123&utm_campaign=3D=someValue

Note that this link example =is "http" not "https".

I have my server =configured to serve everything via "https"
which means it =is force-switching all these "http" visits to
"https", and =this makes me wonder ...

Does this =forced-switching to "https" cause WebDNA to lose
its =[referrer] value?
