HTTP Verification with piped embedded variable does not work

Question

I have a survey that requires some link to be sent through a hub (HTTP verification needs to be turned on for the whole project) and some links that will not come from the hub URL (these will just be regular anonymous links with an embedded variable, src, appended at the end).  I created an embedded variable, httpVERIFY, that is set equal to the URL for the hub (default) but then added logic such that: if the embedded variable, src, is not empty then httpVERIFY is set equal to the regular anonymous link. I thought this would work but I keep getting the message: "Thank you for your interest in this survey. Unfortunately, you are not authorized to access this survey."

Default embedded variable value: httpVERIFY = [HUB URL] 
Logic in survey flow: If src = not empty, then httpVERIFY = [QUALTRICS SURVEY URL] 
Survey options setting:  HTTP Verification is turned on and the field is equal to: ${e://Field/HTTPverification}

Not sure what is wrong here

Hi jazminfeijoo! If you have HTTP Verification enabled in Survey Options, the survey will require that the user comes from the specified URL and nowhere else - it will not process what you have setup in the Survey Flow with your embedded data. An alternative to this would be to setup the Referer as an Embedded Data Field from within the Survey Flow, and not Survey Options. If you need help setting this up or have any additional questions, please reach out to our Support team as they will be best equipped to help!
