Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")

[dswitzer]

Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER&quot does not return a value on the server I am working with.

Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER&quot seems to work OK...

Is this a server setting?

I have an ASP page where I want to put a conditional back-button -- depending on the referring page...

Assuming this is not an easy fix -- are there any workarounds?

Thanks.

how you are you getting to the next page? with a link? Also how do you konw that the HTTP_REFERRER is ok if it does not return a value?

Sorry - my bad....

HTTP_USER_AGENT works fine....
HTTP_REFERER does not return any value....

When linking through a gif with links, HTTP_REFERER fails -- but regular links return the correct value. So I know it's not the server now.

So, short-term solution is that when HTTP_REFERER is null - I know it came from my gif page....

Long-term solution???
