A week or so ago, I needed to find the HTTP_REFERER environment variable to check and see if a user is coming from a certain website:
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")_
= "http://localhost/mydir/page1.aspx" then
response.write "Click on a menu choice"
else
response.write "check back later
end if
I have a page nested in an IFRAME (for example framepage1.aspx or ..asp), and I need to check to see if a user is coming to (not coming from ) a certain page where the framepage1.aspx is (the framepage1.aspx could appear in not only page1.aspx, but page2.aspx ,or page3). I'm not sure how to accomplish this given that the
HTTP_REFERER checks on address only incoming.
Does anyone have any suggestions what software would be best used for an ASP development environment with several programmers working on the same project? It would have to have source control and version control etc.

What is the best way to allow a second developer access to existing html and asp files in the office from a development point of view. At the moment, I have been developing locally and then uploading my files to my web host but I now need to create a usuable office environment which allows a second developer to work my folder structures and files.
We do not have a big budget.
I am thinking of asking the company to buy a second hard drive loaded with Office XP professional and use this to server files locally in a staging environment before pushing the files to the remote web host.

My goal is to retrieve my local machine's %USERNAME% environment variable from ASP page.
When I enter http://RemoteServerName/testusername.asp?id=%USERNAME% directly into the IE Browser URL box, %USERNAME% is repalced with the local machine ID. However <a href="http://RemoteServerName/testusername.asp?id=%USERNAME%"> get mahcine id</a> in an html file and use Request.Querystring("id") to retrieve it in testusername.asp page, it returns "%USERNAME%". I guess IE browser is smart enough to replace %USERNAME% with the local environment variable value before sending URL string to the web server when you type directly into the Browser URL box.My question is , is there any way to retrieve local machine's environment variable, %USERNAME% from ASP page?
I have a variable in an INI file (fileLocation) which will point to the location where i can store some temporay files.

Users in our load-balanced environment get to our home page via web.vzcorp.com where a persistent cookie gets set. bedineta is 1 of the machines in this setup. You can unofficially get to our home page that way too. Question I have is if the user comes in thru bedineta how can I get their machine to recognize the cookie I set when they came thru web.vzcorp.com? They come thru the same block of asp. I've played around with the cookies.Domain and Cookies.Path setting with no luck.
The goal is to retreive the network login in order to validate users. Right now when I try to get Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"), it returns a null value. Currenly in IIS, anonlymous access is checked. Is there any way for me to get the LOGON USER?
Before I was able to use Microsoft Devleopment Environment to debug my asp code. I did that by going to Microsoft Development Environment 6.0, go to Debug menu -> Processes, and will see inetinfo.exe and then I can attach it. But lately, (and I don't know if it's got anything to do with the fact that I have recently installed Norton Internet Security and Norton Anti Virus) when I opened the Processes window, the list is blank, and the Machine drop down is also empty.
If I hit Properties or Refresh, I'll get the "Development Environment has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" error, and the app will close. If I hit the Machine button, even if I find the machine, it'll say "Unable to connect to the machine". Has anyone had similar problems before?
I have a problem with dialog boxes. When in Windows XP, the dialog boxes are too small, but when in other environments it is ok. What should I do to accomodate all environments?
I am trying to find out how to access %APPDATA% environment variable on the client side of an ASP Intranet application. I need this so that I can perform some cleanup function. So far everything I read points to using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables("APPDATA"); I can't seem to get this to work. Error message says Environment not defined.
Is there any way to grab the HTTP_REFERER server variable in a pop up? Example: www.site1.com pops open www.site2.com that needs to see if it was popped from www.site1.com
i wanted to monitor the traffic coming to my site. so i used http_referer tag to find the location from users are coming to my site. and i found a strange thing that i got only was able to trap a few referers and not all, and that too of a page of my site. i couldnt find any referer from anyother site... i mean the field remain empty in my Database for most of the referers. i wondered why is it so?
I'm trying to retreive information using Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), with no success. The users arrive to the page using simple link, and without being redirected or any other way - just a simple click on a link.
It is important to say that they click on the link in one website (Hosted on server A) and arriving to another website (Hosted on server B), where I'm using the HTTP_REFERER. maybe this is the reason to my problem ?
I've written an application that makes use of the HTTP_REFERER server variable to redirect users to a page they just came from. This has worked for everyone that's used the application except one person where they get the following error:
I am trying to add the http_referer to certain pages within my site but i am having a few problems, can anyone offer advise on what is wrong with my code below please:
<% 'test the user came from one of our pages If InStr(1,Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"registration.asp") = 0 OR InStr(1,Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"update.asp") = 0 Then Response.Redirect("home.asp") end if %>
I basically want any pages that contain a form on them to be checked that they have been submitted from within my site. The two form pages are called registration.asp and update.asp.
I am having a little problem with the use of HTTP_REFERER I have managed to get it to work correct and as required only if I add the full URI of my site, how can I do this so that I only have to name the pages in question. An example of my code is shown below
'test the user came from one of our pages If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"),"http://mydomainspace/eca/new_customer_reg.asp") = 0 Then Response.Redirect("home.asp") end if
Can anyone offer a solution in simple terms as I am an ASP newbie, so that I can remove the http://mydomainspace/eca and just use "new_customer_reg.asp" I currently do not have any databases and nor do i wish to yet - still learning the very basics first. I say this as I have seen several solutions that use databases.
test = request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER") response.write test
It just gives me blank page and does not give me the URL. I tried request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR") it gives me the IP address but HTTP_REFERER is not working. What could be the reason.
Just wondering if anyone has found a way to grab the referring URL if the resulting page isn't from a HREF link.
To explain further:
I am creating an ASP driven weblog and am trying to avoid using the queryString to pull out the correct posts (Primarily for better search engine results). To do this I would like the user to be able to click on or type in something like
http://host/weblog/year/month/shorttitle
Under normal circumstances this would look for the default page in a folder called "shorttitle" but instead I defer this to a custom 404 error page which would strip out the URL and do a database query depending on the year, month and shorttitle.
However - this all works a treat when you click a generated link as the HTTP_REFERER is sent through in the headers, but if this is simply typed into the address bar the HTTP_REFERER is blank upon reaching the 404 page.
I have some one linking to my site, that I don't want linking to my site, and I get get them to remove the link. What i'm trying to do is redirect everything from that particular domian. I would prefer to send them off my site if possible but am willing to create a dead page if I need to.
I'm sure it's rather simple but I can't seem to figure it out (after much reading and several attempts).
I understand that Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") is empty when the page is redirected.Does that mean that it is also empty when redirected on client side? (Suchas location.href = ...) Actually, I do that and all I get in HTTP_REFERER is "http://[servername]" . Is this the same problem?
I have created a feedback form that uses, among other things, the HTTP_REFERER server variable, which appears in the e-mail that gets generated when the form is submitted. I would prefer to have the form appear in a pop-up window, which is called via a javascript function. However, at least in IE 5 Win, the referer header does *not* get sent when a user clicks on the feedback link (FWIW, it does in IE 5 Mac).
My workaround has been to have the form open in a new, "regular" window (target=_blank). Is this issue present in later versions of IE Win? Is there another approach that would allow me to have my feedback form in a pop-up window?

I have a basic script that allows broadband to be turned on/off from anypage on a site. What I have done is used HTTP_REFERER to redirect the user back to page they were on once the needed server variable is set.
But since Firewalls such as Norton block HTTP_REFERER variable the script is falling on its face. Currently I just redirect them to the home page is HTTP_REFERER returns blank but I'm wondering if anyone can think of a workaround or have read anywhere about one.
I have create a website that links to other websites, using a response.redirect("URL_OF_WEBSITE") For some reason I have managed to get on top at Google, with these pages that only redirect to a website of an affiliate program of mine. The problem now is that the affiliate program thinks that Google is the referer instead of me. What can I do to prevent this.
Is there a way to somehow alter the change the HTTP_REFERER when I use Response.redirect?
