Referrer variable
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

How about data.getRequest().getHeader("Referer") ?

Re: Referrer variable
Posted by Tony Oslund <ao...@bevcomm.net>.
This is correct, the HTTP_REFERER is not guaranteed to be in the header.
If you search for REFERER in the following doc it points this out.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html. (Thank you Robert Fuess at
Digital Point Forums).
Ilan wanted to know how to access this value so I didn't want to stop him.
Depending upon his environment and what he is doing it may or may not give
him the desired result. He seemed pretty confident and direct so I assumed
that he knew about its limitations.
By the way, this is not a Turbine limitation, but apparantly (based on
various comments) can be caused by the browser (as you stated), proxy
servers, ssl, dhtml, and numerous other real (or imagined) culprits ;-).

Re: Referrer variable
Posted by Brian Lawler <br...@daflink.net>.
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.

Re: Referrer variable
Posted by Tony Oslund <ao...@bevcomm.net>.
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);
}

RE: Referrer variable
Posted by Ilan Azbel <ia...@mdio.net>.
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.

I see that this class is deprecated. Any non-deprecated way of accessing
this info? I cannot imagine that there isn't a simple way to access the
environment variables?!?!
