The way you do it sort of depends on what language you are doing it in.
Are you using PHP, Perl, Python, C? I dont know if any of the scripting
languages run on AS/400's. Also, these sort of things also depend on the
web server software you are running on the AS/400. Apache provides environment
variables such as HTTP_REFERER and HTTP_HOST that you would be able to use
to redirect people. What web server are you running? Cookies can be
handled by javascript but depending on your webserver/language its
probably easier to not use javascript for this.
