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?
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 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!!
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 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 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?
is there a possibility that i can use this statement
referer = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") in a .html page??
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.
View Replies View RelatedIs 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 have been trying like mad to get this script and this form to work. i'm at the point where the error message i get upon hitting the "SUBMIT" button is simply Form could not be processed due to the following errors:
No referer. Code:
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.
I have an asp page that uploads a text file, with SQL Statements inside.
After I upload the file, I want to execute the statements and then delete the file from the server.
The problem is: when I read the first Sql statement, it gives an error when I try to execute it I get a "Identifier that starts with 'INTO blah blah' is to long. Maximum length is 128.
But when I response.write the variable it shows the whole string, all +-600 chars of it.
So is this a DB Problem? (I'm using SQL Server 2000)
And how would I change it, if it was?
I believe that it's possiblte to set the length of time that a visitor to a site can be inactive before their session time's out, but I don't know what the coding is or where it's placed. have never had to bother with this, but I've just started with a host, whose server seems to time-out my session after like 4 or 5 minutes
View Replies View Relatedin my asp code i have a part that selects 10 products at random, and then displays in a right hand menu as links.

whats the maximum lenght of a url ?
View Replies View RelatedI think an url variable could be limited, maybe someone know the maximum length I can use ? (I try to send an html code with the get method, maybe some symbols could not be accepted in url).Is this length limited for a variable or for the url string ?
View Replies View RelatedI have a webpage with a form and i am saving the webpage using name value pairs. So i can give the users a link which they can click on and the form will open up prepopulated.
The problem i am having is that these forms can get exteremely long (hence the prepopulation facility) e.g test.asp?name=value?name1=value1?name2=value2
is there any way to increase the url in a browser or if you know of any other way i can accomplish this id appreciate ure feedback more detail regarding the above: I am allowing useers to save their forms with the data, also save multiple versions of the form (same form with diff data).

I previously had a post on a problem with the Microsoft SQL server, when I was trying to compare a record in the database with an inputed record, if the record in the database was not exactly the same length as the inputed record, it would not match. i.e. user codes = OAK,BRANT,QUYOU etc.
Unfortunately these records have already been made and they vary in length from 2-5 characters. Im programming in VBscript, does anyone know any functions which will rectify this problem?
i've tried the trim function but this has no effect, I could just change the length of the column so that they are all a similar length and thus will all be comparable, however this is certainly not ideal as an id code only two characters long is not unique, some of the records will clash.
I would like to avoid changing all the records as there are 25 different codes for about 10,000 records. im sure there is some code which could accomplish this but ideally I would like to solve the problem at source.
We have web site on IIS 5.0 for sending purchase-orders to database on MS
SQL through ASP and ADO. The purchase-order is being sending to .asp script
as web request, but the script recieves only the first 2088 characters of
request. Is it possible to increase this parameter somehow, or to set it
unlimited? Does the IE limit the request length, or IIS?

View Replies View RelatedCategories are beïng used out of a database to make a menu, example given:
menuitem 1 | menuitem 2 | menuitem 3 | menuitem 4 | ...
This all works, but the table width can only be 770 pixels.
If the menu structure is going to be wider than 770 pixels it has got to be devided into 2 or more lines.Is it possible to determine the pixels word by word?Or is there another possibility?On Google I read it would be possible in java, php,Only I didn't find anything that refers to ASP.
I'm really at wits end on this as I'm not having much success with locating a function or other options I have. I'm working on a message board for a website and I'm needing to check the length of the words that users put in.
For example, when someone puts in "yesssssssssssss!", I put together a small function that omits all of the s's as this is wreaking havoc on the layout of tables within the site. But I don't have a solution if someone types in "ssss sasdfjskldjfaskld;jfaskdf" as random ambiguous letters.
I know I can check the length of the entire string but don't know to check the words
within it.
