SPUG: Error message

[Andre McDowall]

Hi,

The below link goes to an “Email page to a friend” .cgi script. All users 
should have access  to this script from a link on an HTML page which sits on 
my server. Users are not allowed to access the script directly (an option I 
don‘t particularly care for, but since I downloaded this script from the web 
I don’t have much choice). If a user tries to access the script directly 
they receive an error message from within the script. The problem is: some 
users can NOT access the script via the HTML link; they get an error message 
as though they are trying to access the script directly. I have verified 
that the page being “email to a friend” is on my server and I have verified 
that the users’ browser settings are correct. Does anyone have an idea of 
how I can remedy this? Or even better, how I can completely get rid of the 
HTTP_REFERER and still have the script perform as it should? Any assistance 
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
