    Hi,BKBK.

         First, thank you for your quick response.

         Is cgi.HTTP_REFERER can get the CURRENT full url ?I think it can only get the url redirected to the current page,I mean if i browser

    from http://****.com/a.cfm and click a link to http://****.com/b.cfm, In b.cfm if i use cgi.HTTP_REFERER,i will get http://****.com/a.cfm. Is it right?

         Actually,I'm really want to get the CURRENT full url for judge whether the request is http,If the request is http,I want re-redirect to https.But caused by the loadbalance,all value get by cgi.server_port are 80 including https request.

    That's right. Test it yourself.

    page1.cfm

    ========

    <a href="page2.cfm">page 2</a>

    page2.cfm

    ========

    <cfoutput>#cgi.http_referer#</cfoutput>

    Take a look at the variables in the CGI scope.  You can use CGI.SERVER_PORT to determine if port 443 (https) was used.

    Thank you for your quick response.

    For some reason,We can't use cgi.server_port to get whether the request is a http or https,because we have installed a loadbalance and on Web Server cgi.server_port always equal 80.So I think if i can get the full current url,i can http or https from url.
