[Steven Burn]

hehe, good reason ;o)

Unfortunately, I've not got it on mine either, so can't tell you either way
\, though, from what my host tells me, if it's a secure site, the
HTTP_HOST will not be passed onto the referring page.

It returns the same thing. Note that this variable is not reliable, in that
a person can make that variable be whatever he wants it to be. Example:


yourpage.asp:
<%
Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") & " or " &
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
%>

Load that page and see the results. Then, open a command prompt (cmd.exe)
and enter this:

(Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your site's IP address)

echo xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bogus>>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Now load http://bogus/yourpage.asp in your browser.
