HDR background not showing through glass

Are there any tricks, or special glass materials that will allow an hdr background image to show through glass? I am using an hdr image for both background and reflection and physical sky for disabled panels. When viewed through glass, I get the physical sky lighting, but no hdr background?

Hmmm? Mate I haven't tested this! Have you used the AGS for the glass! It could be a refractive issue, or a bug!

If that means you have refraction channel disabled, you should enable and use the same map.

Thanks for the tip...I'll give it a try. I thought it had to do with the glass at first, but after trying 10 or so different versions, I knew it was time to talk to the experts. Much appreciated.
