How to do a redirect? - Posted 23 Sep 2005 19:51 (915 Views)

I've been using the following referal to do a modded redirect without problems (v. 3.4.03):

Code:


"<input name=""Refer"" type=""hidden"" value=""" &  Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>" & vbNewLine & _

But, the following code from (v. 3.4.04) is causing a problem:

Code:


"<input name=""Refer"" type=""hidden"" value=""" & GetReferer() & """>" & vbNewLine & _

This is the function:

Code:

function GetReferer()
    Dim strReferer
    strReferer = lcase(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"))
    if strReferer = "" then 
     strReferer = "default.asp"
    elseif (Left(strReferer, len(strForumURL)) <> lcase(strForumURL)) then
     strReferer = "default.asp"
    end if
    GetReferer = strReferer
end function

This is my REFERER:

Code:

http://www.site.com/forum/post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=27&artid=1927&ref=
http://www.site.com/site/article.asp?id%3D1927 (I split this so it will fit on the page)

I understand that the function was added for security reasons and I'd like to keep that, but I'm not sure how to do it with my modified referer. Any advice?

Not entirely sure what the problem is. I understand it to be that the referer you posted is "internal" and that strReferer should be set to default.asp in such cases? This line looks correct

elseif (Left(strReferer, len(strForumURL)) <> lcase(strForumURL)) then
unless strForumURL is not what you think it is

Can you response.write strForumURL and strReferer ? <
