Url Referrer

Jan 22, 2004 08:24 PM|LINK
Everytime a user come in I would like to find out urlReferer. My problem is that some of the entry pages are in html, my home page though is in .Net. I know that request.UrlReferrer.toString() will give me the previously visited page but how can I find the UrlReferer of the entry page? Thanks

are u using sessions?, if so, then what about if you capture that in the session start?
```
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Session.Add("SESSIONOK","OK");
			if(Request.UrlReferrer!=null)
				Session.Add("URLREF",Request.UrlReferrer.ToString());
			else
				Session.Add("URLREF","Home");
		}
```

Won't work. The only way to do this, imho, would be to configure iis so that ASP.NET handles html pages, and write a custom HttpHandler for these pages that checks the UrlReferer on the fly before the contents of the page is sent to the browser.

And I believe that changing IIS settings is not an option because my site is hosted by an outside company. Any other options?

Nope. There's no way ASP.NET could know an html page is being accessed if IIS is not reconfigured.
