[Webtest] CGI variables in WebTest

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to get WebTest to set CGI variables
like HTTP_REFERRER when doing a GET?

Looking at my webserver log, it will only set HTTP_REFERRER when it
does a post.  Browsers will set HTTP_REFERRER when doing a get.

This is my sequence:
POST of Login form leads to client-side redirect (GET) to User home
page.  The user home page checks HTTP_REFERRER to make sure the user
came from our login site.  Since WebTest's HTTP_REFERRER is blank, the
redirect fails and the user is sent back to the login page.

Thanks,
Jon
