Redirecting to another server (and preserving http-header)

[blah2468]

Hi there,
I have a main website application:
urlMain =

http://www.urlMain.com

I am supposed to redirect a bunch of other URLs to urlMain. Here's the problem:

in urlMain I need to detect which url the user used to get to urlMain. So I thought it would be as simple as the following:

1. create a temp site for each url
2. configure IIS for each url to point to their corresponding temp site
3. in temp site I simply do this:
  Response.Redirect(urlMain)

However, by the time the user gets to urlMain, Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri is empty!! So do you mind pointing out what I'm doing wrong or suggest an alternative please?

One more piece of info that might be helpful:

http://www.urlMain.com

is sitting on SSL so ->

https://www.urlmain.com

is the final destination. I wonder if this could be the cause of http-header info loss?

Referrers are normally only created when a user physically clicks a link and even then their browser could be set to remove it. Therefore when you issue your redirect the details will be blank.

However, I think you can add your own details when creating a request although I can't remember how. Hopefully google can help find some ideas on how to do this.
