referrer

If I search for something on google and click on a result (mytestsite.com), the referer to that site will be URL of the google search. Now on that site, there is a JS file include that is used for tracking purposes..however the referrer to that JS file request is mytestsite.com...is there no way for the server handling the JS request to know that it originated from a google search? A script tag will always refer to the document that is sourcing it. If you're doing something special on the server you might want to consider using a session or cookies. I'm a little unclear on what you are trying

I have a page where in Javascript I add to the location hash something like: location.hash = "initial_source=previous_referrer". Afterwards a window.location is done in order to redirect. However the receiver gets the referrer in his request without the hash (#) part. Is it possible to somehow modify the URL in the initial page, without a redirect, so the final referrer is what is desired? Thank you. First, the hash portion of a URL is used on the client side only. It will never appear in server logs, requests, or as part of a REFERRER string. Second, the only part of the url that can be

I feel like i've done this a ton of times, but i can't for the life of me figure out what is going wrong. Default.aspx: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { var r1 = Request.UrlReferrer; // null var r2 = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERRER"]; // null } SingleSignOn.aspx: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Redirect("/"); } If i type "/SingleSignOn.aspx" in the URL, it redirects to Default.aspx, but the referrer is null. What am i missing here? What im trying to do (this is a simplified example), is on any page, i will have some JavaScript to do

When installing an app via the Market app on a phone, the app will correctly receive the referrer information passed to it (as described here: http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/#android-market-tracking ). However, when installing the same app with the same referrer via the web-based Market, the referrer information is dropped and isn't received by the app. This makes campaigns targeting your app from the web impossible to track. Is it possible to track install referrer via android web market? No, it is not possible to track install referrer from the web-based Google Play

In my site I have a password protected page containing some links to other sites also operated by myself that cannot be password protected. I would like to place a HTML code onto one of the other sites I operate that checks that the person arriving at the page has been referred from the URL of the 'Links Page' . (I understand that this is not a secure option) Summary: If Referrer = 'Links Page URL' *then* Do nothing *Else* Redirect: www.google.com. Does anyone know a simple HTML/ Javascript code that I can copy and paste into my site? if (document.referrer !== "http://www.stackoverflow.com") {

Is there referrer header within domain while using SSL? If a website is accessed from a HTTP Secure (HTTPS) connection and a link points to anywhere except another secure location, then the referrer field is not sent. The upcoming standard HTML5 will support the attribute/value rel = "noreferrer" in order to instruct the user agent not to send a referrer. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referrer So it seems referrer is not within the domain, but within SSL. At least Chrome supports now a Meta Tag which explicitly allows to send the Referrer when going from HTTPS to HTTP. Just include
