HTTP_REFERER
I'm trying to retreive information using Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), with no success. The users arrive to the page using simple link, and without being redirected or any other way - just a simple click on a link.
It is important to say that they click on the link in one website (Hosted on server A) and arriving to another website (Hosted on server B), where I'm using the HTTP_REFERER. maybe this is the reason to my problem ?
HTTP_REFERER Server
I've written an application that makes use of the HTTP_REFERER server variable to redirect users to a page they just came from. This has worked for everyone that's used the application except one person where they get the following error:

Missing URL
/admin_dbupdate.asp, line 10

Http_referer Add In Several Pages How Can I Do This
I am trying to add the http_referer to certain pages within my site but i am having a few problems, can anyone offer advise on what is wrong with my code below please:
<%
'test the user came from one of our pages
If InStr(1,Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"registration.asp") = 0 OR InStr(1,Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"update.asp") = 0 Then
Response.Redirect("home.asp")
end if
%>
I basically want any pages that contain a form on them to be checked that they have been submitted from within my site. The two form pages are called registration.asp and update.asp.
HTTP_REFERER Problem
I am having a little problem with the use of HTTP_REFERER I have managed to get it to work correct and as required only if I add the full URI of my site, how can I do this so that I only have to name the pages in question. An example of my code is shown below
'test the user came from one of our pages
If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"http://mydomainspace/eca/new_customer_reg.asp") = 0 Then
Response.Redirect("home.asp")
end if
Can anyone offer a solution in simple terms as I am an ASP newbie, so that I can remove the http://mydomainspace/eca and just use "new_customer_reg.asp" I currently do not have any databases and nor do i wish to yet - still learning the very basics first. I say this as I have seen several solutions that use databases.
HTTP_REFERER Not Working
I am giving the following:

View Replies View RelatedHTTP_REFERER Issue
Just wondering if anyone has found a way to grab the referring URL if the resulting page isn't from a HREF link.
To explain further:
I am creating an ASP driven weblog and am trying to avoid using the queryString to pull out the correct posts (Primarily for better search engine results). To do this I would like the user to be able to click on or type in something like
http://host/weblog/year/month/shorttitle
Under normal circumstances this would look for the default page in a folder called "shorttitle" but instead I defer this to a custom 404 error page which would strip out the URL and do a database query depending on the year, month and shorttitle.
However - this all works a treat when you click a generated link as the HTTP_REFERER is sent through in the headers, but if this is simply typed into the address bar the HTTP_REFERER is blank upon reaching the 404 page.

View Replies View RelatedHTTP_REFERER Off My Site Why?
I have some one linking to my site, that I don't want linking to my site, and I get get them to remove the link. What i'm trying to do is redirect everything from that particular domian. I would prefer to send them off my site if possible but am willing to create a dead page if I need to.
I'm sure it's rather simple but I can't seem to figure it out (after much reading and several attempts).
HTTP_REFERER When Redirected
I understand that Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") is empty when the
page is redirected.Does that mean that it is also empty when redirected on client side? (Suchas location.href = ...) Actually, I do that and all I get in HTTP_REFERER is
"http://[servername]" . Is this the same problem?
HTTP_REFERER Environment
A week or so ago, I needed to find the HTTP_REFERER environment variable to check and see if a user is coming from a certain website:
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")_
= "http://localhost/mydir/page1.aspx" then
response.write "Click on a menu choice"
else
response.write "check back later
end if
I have a page nested in an IFRAME (for example framepage1.aspx or ..asp), and I need to check to see if a user is coming to (not coming from ) a certain page where the framepage1.aspx is (the framepage1.aspx could appear in not only page1.aspx, but page2.aspx ,or page3). I'm not sure how to accomplish this given that the
HTTP_REFERER checks on address only incoming.
Javascript HTTP_REFERER
I have the following in an ASP script:
var bounceBackPage = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER");
Response.Write("<p>bounceBackPage: " +
bounceBackPage + ". Undefined? " +
(bounceBackPage == "undefined") + " </p>");
When I enter the page URL by itself, I expect HTTP_REFERER to be undefined.. but this is the output I get:
bounceBackPage: undefined. Undefined? false . How can it print "undefined" and still return false for bounceBackPage == "undefined"?
HTTP_REFERER Variable
I have created a feedback form that uses, among other things, the HTTP_REFERER server variable, which appears in the e-mail that gets generated when the form is submitted. I would prefer to have the form appear in a pop-up window, which is called via a javascript function. However, at least in IE 5 Win, the referer header does *not* get sent when a user clicks on the feedback link (FWIW, it does in IE 5 Mac).
My workaround has been to have the form open in a new, "regular" window (target=_blank).
Is this issue present in later versions of IE Win? Is there another approach that would allow me to have my feedback form in a pop-up window?

HTTP_REFERER Is Blocked
I have a basic script that allows broadband to be turned on/off from anypage on a site. What I have done is used HTTP_REFERER to redirect the user back to page they were on once the needed server variable is set.
But since Firewalls such as Norton block HTTP_REFERER variable the script is falling on its face. Currently I just redirect them to the home page is HTTP_REFERER returns blank but I'm wondering if anyone can think of a workaround or have read anywhere about one.
Change The Http_referer
I have create a website that links to other websites, using a response.redirect("URL_OF_WEBSITE") For some reason I have managed to get on top at Google, with these pages that only redirect to a website of an affiliate program of mine. The problem now is that the affiliate program thinks that Google is the referer instead of me. What can I do to prevent this.
Is there a way to somehow alter the change the HTTP_REFERER when I use Response.redirect?
This is an example: ....
HTTP_REFERER Between Pages
I know that the referer can be hidden, but is it hidden between files when called one after the other?

Code:
alert("<%=request.serverVariables("HTTP_REFERER")%>")
And I need to get "first.asp" accurately
HTTP_REFERER Does Not Work Properly
Pretty simple task ... page1.asp calls page2.asp and I want page2.asp to show the HTTP_REFERER (which I expect to be page1.asp).

Capturing Previous HTTP_REFERER
I have a form that I use to submit feedback to a database. The form can be called from any number of pages and I track the page that has opened the form using the server variable, HTTP_REFERER.
A user does have the option of submitting multiple feedback messages by filling out the form multiple times and clicking submit for each (there are different categories that can be chosen on the form itself that make this obvious).
The problem is that on submissions after the first, HTTP_REFERER no longer refers to the original opener but to the feedback page (since the user returns to the feedback page) . How can I capture and keep the original HTTP_REFERER? Code:

HTTP_REFERER It Create A Problem?
I'm using:

Web Forms / HTTP File Upload / String.Split A StreamReader.ReadLine() String
I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....
Request.Servervariables("HTTP_REFERER") Versus BACK Button On Browser
When my webserver does not process a user's change because of an invalid password, I inform the user and I want to present them a button for a retry:
<TR id=continuebuttonrow>
<td width="05%"> </td>
<TD width="90%" align=center valign=middle colspan=2>
<BUTTON TYPE=BUTTON
ONCLICK="location.href='<% =Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>';"
class=btnParms name=btnContinue ID="Button3">Try Again (Back)</BUTTON>
</td>
Yet if this button is clicked, they go back to the server and the page is refreshed with original values.
If I click the browser's BACK button (rather than my button above), I go back to the page (from cache I guess) I want (because it contains the user changes). Here I can correct the password without having to rekey the changes.
So, what is the Request.Servervariable needed for the equivalent of the BACK button?
Possble To Retain Orig Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") Thru Svrl Refreshes?
I have a "Email this page to a friend" form that submits to itself and contains the hidden input value="<%= Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>".
The value="<%= Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>" is to obtain the URL of the page that the person wishes to send.
The problem is, if someone creates an error in any of the input fields, the page submits to itself again and displays the errors. When this happens, the original HTTP_REFERER url address is lost and now replaced with the url of the "Email this page to a friend" page.
Is there a way to retain the original HTTP_REFERER value even though the user refreshes the page?
