No. Sometimes there is no useful referring URL and sometimes it is
omitted for other reasons.
For example, in Opera (at least for some versions) the user can easily
disable the referrer (or referer) logging.

You can do it also in Mozilla Suit and Firefox. What I wonder is, did
many disable that and why, if they do? :)

Some firewalls can also disable it. Kerio
<http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html> does this by default.
People disable it because they do not want it know where they came from,
similar to why people disable cookies, privacy reasons.

I worked for a french website that was used by french users, mainly from
their work. The referer was not sent for almost 10% of the whole 400 000
unique visitors each months... This is a big proportion. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi There
A client of mine has some banner ads placed on the net. Instead of relying
on the sites the ads are posted on tell us how many clicks they are
getting, we wanted to track the number ourselves.
I settled on using $_SERVER to determine what referred the
user to our page. Sure enough, when testing, it all works (ie: i click the
ad on 'sample.com', which takes us to my page, and sure enough in our

Hi All,
I try to use Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") in a script and I
discovered it doesn't work as expected.
I use XP with SP2 and I created a link on a web site which points to an asp

I placed a link on www.eleader.com.au/linkref.html and there is a link
pointing to www.monitortest.net/referer.asp
When I use my computer with XP SP2, and I click on the first link, I get no
referer. But when...

Does the file extension matter when including a JavaScript file in an HTML
page?
Normally, one would include a JavaScript file in an HTML page using
<script src="foo.JS" type="text/javascript">
However, I have found that I can use an alternate file extension, such as
<script src="foo.HTML" type="text/javascript">
It works fine with my IE 6 and Mozilla. Will it work with other browsers?

via the onclick property and changing the location.href to the next

The problem is that this method does not seem to send the RERRER header

the referrer url is correct.
The website is on a Windows Server, and we are...

Hi,
From Page1.asp, I use "Server.transfer" to "REDIRECT" to another asp page
(page2.asp),
in page2.asp I use Request.ServerVariables("URL") and
Request.ServerVariables("REFERER") to get the lastpage and the actual page,
this method (or property) return incorrect values: "Page1.asp" and ""
Why?

I need to know whether a request for a resource on our web server is coming
from a particular affiliate domain or from another domain. In my testing,
the HTTP_REFERER variable sometimes is empty. Under what circumstances can
it be empty? Is there any way to know the origin of a request, for certain?
Thanks

my app was working fine in VB.NET 2003 (and framework 1.1). Now with
VB.NET 2005 (framework 2.0) the uploading to an http server (ie.
www.sharebigfile.com) stops with the error "The request was aborted:
The request was canceled" after about 7 MB.
For example, I might be uploading a 73MB file. After about 11% done the
upload aborts. :shake:
It works great for files < 5MB. I can upload those every time.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
