What is wrong with this code?

Session ("CC_referingURL")=request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
if (Session ("CC_referingURL")<>"") then Session ("CC_referingURL")="None" End if

Why does it always return "None" in the page and not the ("HTTP_REFERER")

Maybe I'm missing the point but why not recode as follows:

Session ("CC_referingURL")=request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
if (Session ("CC_referingURL")="") then
 Session ("CC_referingURL")="None"
End if

Your example resets Session(CC..) to "None" whenever the Referrer is anything other than a ZLS which is the reverse of what you intended.

Hope this helps

Thanks Nigelo

I have changed the code and it still does not work

I have links to this site, but always get "None" , do all servers support request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")?

Can this be switched off on the server?

I don't think you can deny a single server variable and it might be that it is only supported on win2k, don't know.

Have taken another look and think that retrieving the referer should be seperated from your Database write as follows:

strRef=request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
If strRef="") then strRef="None"

'write strRef to Database or whatever

Hope this helps

Hi Nigelo,

Still no joy:

Dim strRef
strRef=request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
If (strRef="") then strRef="None"
Session ("CC_referingURL")=strRef

Always return "None" even if I write strRef to the page or database.

I have links on other sites, other domains and even in Google.


Any other ideas?

This should work....just can't see why it don't.
