This entire 404 not passing info thing just didn't seem right to me given I do a bit of tracking on my sites... So I just did a test.

404 set up to redirect into a script that dumps the server variables.
A page had a query string on it called "queryonpage"
The link that's on the page that would create the 404 had a query string on it called "queryonlink"

On the Apache server, the server variables in question which the script can get info from are:

'HTTP_REFERER'=>'http://127.0.0.100/testredir.html?queryonpage'
'REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING'=>'queryonlink'
'REDIRECT_URL'=>'/bubba.html'
'REQUEST_URI'=>'/bubba.html?queryonlink'

So why can't those query stings be parsed to grab the affiliate info and pass it on to the 404 page??

TheDoc: You should talk to NATs about this.. Frankly it should be built into their software or any of that type of software.
