Get requsted url?

On my site, I have it set up so that a different css file is loaded
depending on the users screen resolution. This works fine.
When the user visits a page in my site, the sessoin variable 'screenres' is
checked for a value. If it has a value, then the page loads with the correct
css file for the screen res. If 'screenres' has no value, the user is sent
to a page titled 'detectscreenres.aspx' , where the res is disovered via a
JavaScript function that passes a value to Session("screenres"). Again, this
all works properly.

The problem I am having is that if a user bookmarks a page, or another site
deep-links to one of my pages, they are automatically redirected to
'default.aspx by the page code. It's the only way I can get it to work.

Here is the code for 'detectscreenres.aspx':

<head>
</head>

<script runat="server" language="C#">

public void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e){

if (Request.QueryString["action"] != null) {
// store the screen resolution in Session["ScreenResolution"]
// and redirect back to default.aspx
Session["ScreenResolution"] =
Request.QueryString["res"].ToString();
Response.Redirect("../default.aspx");
}
}
// JavaScript code below will determine the user screen resolution
// and redirect to itself with action=set QueryString parameter

</script>

<HTML><BODY>
<script language="javascript">
res = "&res="+screen.width+"x"+screen.height+"&d="+scree n.colorDepth
top.location.href="detectscreen.aspx?action=set"+r es
</script>
</BODY></HTML>
So, how can I redirect them back to their originally requested page after
visiting 'detectscreenres.aspx'?

Detecting a page requested by recalling a Favorite or Bookmark
does not populate the Request object which requires an onMouse
click event to be populated.

A request from a deep link would fire that event, the data would
be passed to the Request object in the HTTP_REFERER variable,
and the redirect using the Transfer method.

I've yet to determine a methodology to reliably detect a request from
a Favorite or Bookmark. The only thing to do in that case is fall back
to the Request object to determine if the page is being loaded within
the domain the page runs within and then use the Transfer method.

The very first thing I would try is to capture the requested page and
put it into the res variable with the screen properties. When res is
passed to detectscreenres.aspx get the page from the QueryString
and use it to populate the Transfer method to redirect to the
originally requested page.

Thanks.

One problem I'm running into is with my code for this.
public void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e){

string urlReferrer;
urlReferrer = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERRER"];

if (Request.QueryString["action"] != null) {
// store the screen resolution in Session["ScreenResolution"]
// and redirect back to default.aspx
Session["ScreenResolution"] =
Request.QueryString["res"].ToString();
Response.Redirect(urlReferrer);
}
}

I get this error:
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: url
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: url

Source Error:

Line 14: // and redirect back to default.aspx
Line 15: Session["ScreenResolution"] =
Request.QueryString["res"].ToString();
Line 16: Response.Redirect(urlReferrer);
Line 17: }
Line 18: }

A couple of comments...

The HTTP_REFERER variable must be populated by a click event
or the variable will contain no data.

I see you are literate but the lames that created this variable way back
when were not and their illiteracy found its way into the RFCs and into
widely adopted practice. When used as a server variable the word
'referrer' must be spelled incorrectly as 'referer' with one 'r.'
