You know that "HTTP_REFERER" is unreliable (often not there, sometimes
faked)?

Pass the required information into the user authentication.

Do not use "HTTP_REFERER" but remember URL and QUERY_STRING yourself.
Then, perform:

      <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(RememberedURL+'?'+RememberedQueryString)">

will work for all GET requests.
