[Webtest] CGI variables in WebTest

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Jon,

It seems to me that it is an httpunit issue.
Concerning the sequence: are you sure that the browsers of your visitors will really send the Referrer header? I can 
imagine that some browsers can be configured to disable sending this information for privacy reasons.

Marc.
