note 89883 deleted from reserved.variables.server by danbrown

Note Submitter: spambegone at cratemedia dot com ---- It is also useful to note, that if you are using Apache rewrite (to manipulate random URI paths to a core php file that runs your CMS), and you are in SSL mode, browsing with IE (6 or 7), $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] has odd properties. If you save that variable to a session, e.g. $_SESSION["last_page"] = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; And then you try to access that session variable on the next page, the variable will have mysteriously changed. Notably, a part of the path will be missing, and in it's place will be the string "/://0", e.g. Original Variable: /site/admin/menu/edit/ Retrieved from Session: /site/admin/menu/://0 I would very much like to know why, but I couldn't find this behavior documented anywhere. It also affects, $_SERVER["REDIRECT_URL"]. My work around for now, is to avoid using a SESSION to store the current page, and instead use the $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]. But then I have to strip out the protocol and domain to get the part that I want. If anyone knows the reason for this, can you email me?
