I believe it is. I'm almost certain that when your browser requests
a URL, it communictes the URL of the page you are coming ~from~ to
the HTTP server. (I may be wrong. If I am punish me by sending me an
LX.)
However, the implementation details are beyond me. You'd have to be
running a server that could be enhanced with, say, Perl scripts or
something along that line. Right off the bat I can see several
obstacles:
1. Does the actual server software used by PUG have this capability?
2. Since the server undoubtedly serves other domains as well, would
its owner allow such customization?
3. Is there anyone able and willing to actually do the scripting.
So it's all moot, in all likelihood -- but unless you ask, you'll
never know for sure.
