Catch previous url

Jason Zhou

Hi,

I have a question on how to get the previous url in custom error file. Here
is what I am doing:

If someone visit my website with a wrong file name or wrong directory name,
IIS will automatically show error 404 page, this was setup by default in IIS
web site properties/Custom Errors. I replaced that 404b.htm with my aspx
file try to handle this error by myself. the problem is that I can not get
previous url that user requested in my aspx page, I was thinking that
urlreferer property, but it does not work either. Does anybody has
experience on this issue before?

If I don't use that custom error page, do I have anyway to get control even
the file or directory specified in the request does not exist on my website?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I think you may try using javascript like this:
<input type="button" name="return" value="Prev" onClick="window.history.go(-1);">

Good point, but the problem is that I want to get the url instead of go
that url, according to internet sdk, this previous url is not exposed
for surity reason, so I still can not make it.

But thanks anyway!
