texte = I cannot think of any direct method of determining whether or not the url used to request a page is an http or https url:[thisurl] won't help - it only displays a relative path from the root folder.[issecureclient] won't help - it just detects the SSL capablility of the browser.[listmimeheader] is the closest thing I've found so far that *might* be able to help, here's what it displays:1,Referer,http://204.210.118.206/ClientSites/LeisurePro/vieworder.tpl 2,Connection,Keep-Alive 3,User-Agent,Mozilla/4.04 (Macintosh; I; 68K, Nav) 4,Pragma,no-cache 5,Host,204.210.118.206 6,Accept,image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */* 7,Accept-Language,en 8,Accept-Charset,iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 9,Authorization,Basic Z3JvbWVvOnNhcGllbm1vdXNlThe Referer header doesn't help because it doesn't indicate the URL that is requesting the page, instead it gives the URL of the LAST page loaded. None of the other headers looks useful, except maybe the last one ...#9,Authorization,Basic1- Does anyone know if the value of Authorization is ALWAYS 'Basic' when the URL is http?2- What's the value of Authorization when the URL is https instead of http?3- Would this Authorization value change from browser to browser, or would it be the same in all browsers?Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
