Use of HTTP_REFERER in Global.asa

[Prabhat]

Hello,

I have the below requirement.

When ever my website is opened by any link: say clicked from the google
search result or a link from other website:

Then I should able to know the referrer URL. How Do I get that?

I know about Request.ServerV ariables("HTTP_ REFERER"). So I used this in
"global.asa " file in "Session_OnStar t" event like this:

Sub Session_OnStart
Session("Referr alURL") = Request.ServerV ariables("HTTP_ REFERER")
End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd
Session("Referr alURL") = ""
End Sub

So that I can use the session variable any where in my website, because the
HTTP_REFERER will give the URL of the last webpage.

But this seems to not working.

Please help.

Thanks
Prabhat

Does anybody see what's wrong with bottom-posting here? Just curious if
it's only me that is irritated to scroll through 90 lines of re-hashed
garbage to see "thank you."

Why should I not top-post?

rarely bother to snip any of the preceding post(s) - they leave masses of
quoted text trailing underneath their (frequently very brief) reply."

2. Replying and Quoting

There are many arguments about how to reply to a post on Usenet. There are
standard conventions and on a.s.a we have our preferred styles, briefly
described below.

a. Should I leave in the post I'm replying to, or delete it?

Snip (delete) the parts of a post you're not responding to directly, but
leave in some parts so people know what you're referring to.

This would appear to contradict that claim:

Object, Request Object, Response Object, Server Object, and
Session Object) are available and can be referenced in the
Session_OnStart event script."

Thank you, Dave.

I thought I had heard otherwise, but clearly I am wrong.

What do you think could be Prabhat's problem then?

Re-posting garbage is always a bad habit.
You did it in this very thread.
Top-posting should be discouraged at all times on usenet.
WHY? Because you say so? Because one guy somewhere stated that he doesn't
like it? Blow it out your shorts.
I am sorry that you ar so easily irritated,
No, I was just showing an example where your constant "do not top-post on
usenet" leads to an even less desirable behavior.
and thereby forgetting what 30 years of
usenet experience brought us:
Netiquette.

So sorry grand master, you know all and I am an idiot. Bottom-post away.

[Aaron Bertrand [SQL Server MVP]]

Evertjan gets bent out of shape every time anyone top-posts. I do sometimes
because it's easy, and sometimes because it puts the most relevant content
"above the fold" -- e.g. less scrolling and scanning. More often, I
intersperse my comments where they're relevant, unless I'm only responding
to a single segment of the previous post (such as this example).

AFAIC, neither is a should or shouldn't thing, it is a personal preference.
Unlike Evertjan, I don't attack people who do one or the other and try to
coerce them to my point of view, and try to say that my view and
interpretation of netiquette is superior to all others. In this case, I was
highlighting it because it was a very good example of what bottom-posting
naturally leads to -- scrolling to the bottom of a 90-line message and
adding a one-liner at the end.

Nah, it's lack of snipping, not where the reply was put.

[Aaron Bertrand [SQL Server MVP]]

This is ridiculous. I don't see how this is any more likely with
top-posting than bottom-posting. This thread should serve as a prime
example of where it can happen just as easily with bottom-posting.

Evertjan has attacked me in the past for top-posting and I can not remember
any situation where it had anything to do with me carelessly leaving useless
garbage in my reply.

What is garbage and what is not is in the eye of the beholder. ;-)

Why so aggressive, Aaron?

Again and again in the years I tell my meaning about preferred behavour
on usenet. I know you think differently. So be it. That does not mean I
should not tell others.

I am sorry that you ar so easily irritated,

No, I was just showing an example where your constant "do not top-post
on usenet" leads to an even less desirable behavior.

Aaron:

it's only me that is irritated

See, you came up with the the word "irritated" !
and thereby forgetting what 30 years of
usenet experience brought us:
Netiquette.

So sorry grand master, you know all and I am an idiot. Bottom-post
away.

Thank you, Aaron, if you say so.

However, I did not advocate bottom-posting,
I politely asked not to top-post.
I don't think you are an idiot,
I think you are one of the mainstays of this NG.

See, still you are irritated, Aaron.

Please don't be.

As far as I can remember,
I never attacked anyone,
unless you call a polite

"[please do not toppost on usenet]"

an attack.

Yes, testing!

Set a session variable with global.asa onstart,
and try to tead it on a page.
