Re: Referrer variable

But a word of caution, the referer is not a required header! It is encouraged "as a convenience to the back end" but not a required attribute of a request. We were bitten by this at tribe.net as I was relying on referer being there all the time which isn't true for all browsers. It turns out that we had a case of IE6 on Windows XP (or something like that) where the referer was not in fact being passed in.

I believe that this is what you are looking for.

This info is contained in the request header and can be obtained
from there.

System.out.println("referrer = " +
data.getRequest().getHeader("referer"));

Enumeration e = data.getRequest().getHeaderNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
  String str = (String) e.nextElement();
  System.out.println(str);
}

This is not quote what I am looking for:

String query = data.getRequest().getQueryString(); 
this code gets the variable QUERY_STRING, not HTTP_REFERER

String destination = data.getRequest().getRequestURI(); 
I quote from the docs:
"Gets, from the first line of the HTTP request, the part of
this request's 
URI that is to the left of any query string".

I thought this was going to be an easy question to answer, but
obviously I 
was mistaken.

I am specifically looking for the value of the HTTP_REFERER
variable. Any 
further help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ilan

You can get the information you are looking for from the request
object...

            String query = data.getRequest().getQueryString();
            String destination = data.getRequest().getRequestURI();

I also see that this doesn't exatcly give me what I am looking for.
I am looking for the contents of the HTTP_REFERER variable.

Hi Ilan,

HttpUtils.getRequestURL(RunData.getRequest());

Kind regards

Hello, I am using Turbine with Velocity.

I am needing to get hold of the 'referrer' value (the value
that contains 
the URL of the web page from which the user has clicked).

Which Turbine / Velocity class can I use to get hold of this?

Thanks
Ilan
