    Hi,

    Is there a way (besides using javascript) to retreive the http header information like IP address, referrer, user agent and language? It seems the mydbr 'code' code does this but I can't see to find it exposed so I can retrieve it.

    IP address and user agent are supported as automatic parameters. See Automatic Parameters from documentation. Others can be added if they prove to be useful.

    Thanks! Is 'locale' the browser's locale or the myDBR locale?

    As for referrer, I am mainly interested in offsite referrers (referrers not from within the mydbr system). This would be useful for when 'anonymous access' reports are used to not only know where people came from (e.g. in the report statistics) and to use it to contextualise the content on the page (e.g. using search terms if from a search, using referrer domain like facebook, and many other things).

    Locale is myDBR's locale which helps in cases where you also want to localize the content based on report's language.

    We can add both user's browser's locale and referrer. No problem. We'll take a look if there is a way to make it more generic (i.e. access any header value).

    We've added inHTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and inHTTP_REFERER as automatic parameters. Available in the latest build.

    The build also includes support for sticky headers.
