I built a site half a year ago with form that submits to page that processes the info and then returns the user back to the page they came from using HTTP_REFERER.
There's one guy -- using an identical set-up to our main testing platform -- who kept getting the "URL required" error when doing this. For some reason, on his system alone, HTTP_REFERER was not collecting any referring URL. Is it common for HTTP_REFERER to wuss out like this? What causes it?
i am using the http referer and i get null value from some computers
and the correct value from other computers,
all the computers are using the same code!!
Is there any way to prevent an IE 6 browser from sending up the REFERER HTTP header? (Either as an IIS Server setting, change to asp files, or even a setting in the IE browser).
This is wasting WAN bandwidth in our Intranet application - we have fairly low network bandwidth. The referer is inevitably somewhere else in our own ASP application, and is usually has a really nasty long QString attached ... (and no, really dont want to run stats about how users navigate our app)..
I am able to get the value for "request.ServerVariables("http_referer")". However, I try to use this value in a "response.redirect" and the value disappears. Why is this happening. Example:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Not Session("whatEver") = True Then
Dim httpVar, EncodeHttpVar
httpVar = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
EncodeHttpVar = Server.URLEncode(httpVar)
Response.Redirect "https://www.blah-blah/extranet/index.html?referer=" & EncodeHttpVar
End If
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What am I doing wrong.
if it's possible to catch the url that the user is visiting after leaving our site. I mean, I use HTTP_REFERER to see from which url the visits are coming from, I want to know if there is some way to catch which url they visit after leaving our site.
View Replies View RelatedI am making a small ASP script to track users from an email marketing campaign. Basically the email is sent to subscribers, then when they click on an offer they are sent to a third party provider. Right now we can track how many users open the email, and how many visit the site, but we would like to track conversions.
The third party will only provide stats via referer. Is there an easy way in ASP to set a referer to a custom url during the redirection?
I want to know how to find out who is sending visitors to my site. So i obviusly need to find out who a visitors referer is.
I took a guess and thought that this is what I should use:
request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
But that does not return anything. Any ideas guys?
I have a question about the Max Referer length. By default this is 256. I am not fully sure I understand this property. It this a header that is sent back to the Server by a client and is it part of the URL.
While testing our Secure IIS I ahd the error come up I increased the value to 1080 and the error did not repeat!. But through my search the Max Referer lenght is always 256. SO I am trying to get feel for what the Referer really is, is it part of the HTTP 1.1 protocol?
I have a CMS with access restriction to every page (the user must log on first). If a user tries to access a page while not logged on then they are redirected to the log on page.
In this case I want the log on page to send the user to the page they were trying to access, after they log back on.
Because the page restriction is the first bit of vbscript on every page, non-logged on users are redirected before the rest of the page loads, so using Request.Servervariables("HTTP_REFERER") does not work (I think this is the problem).
I'm trying to use <% rReferer =REQUEST.SERVERVARIABLES("HTTP_REFERER")%>
and capture the referer URL in the variable 'rReferer'.
All I get is the URL of the very page I'm inserting this code into, that is, it refers itself. "sigh"! Yes, I'm clicking from another web page to test it. Am I coding this properly?

I've got a lot of referer variables in my dbase and I'd like to have a query that groups them just by the domain. Everything up to the 3rd "/" should do it. So far, I'm using:
SELECT COUNT(id) AS clicktotal, ref
FROM clicklogs
GROUP BY ref
This only lists everything by the actual referring url. Is there a way to only have it group by the domain within the referring url?
I need to redirect after processing to the previous script (referer). However I dont wish to redirect including the querystring. Just the referer's script name.

It seems to me that if I can have a regular .asp page that contains multiple <input type='file'> elements, and a user could browse to individual files and fill up all the elements on the page, that there should be a way to replicate the HTTP post data. Can
I somehow make my client-side activeX component post the same type of data?
I tried using MS Stress Tool to view the post data being sent from a regular.asp page that contained several <input type='file'> elements.I saw that there was a structure to it. The structure contained the binary data of the files I had selected for upload. But, I have not been able to figure out how I would replicate this structure in my
client-side activeX component

I have certain ASP pages that are wel tested and working in many places. But there is one server (window 2000) on which some of the asp pages do not work. I get a HTTP 404 fil not found error. I checked more than a few times and made sure the file are there on the server where the IIS application is looking at.
some of the ASP pages are working fine. Only those ASP pages whose name starting with 'ETC' is not working. If I chang the name of the same ASP to some thing other than "ETC" it works fine. Do you think there is some software on the sever that tells IIS t block requests coming from any ASP pages starting with the name 'ETC'. what is going on?
We have written a small asp page to accept an HTTP request, pass the request onto an Oracle database for processing and then return the results.
This works find when we call it using HTTP/1.0 but if we use HTTP/1.1 or above it doesn't work. Here's the code:
