How to get the referrer URL?


Recommended Posts

Like the title says,

Is there any way that I can get the referrer url from a webpage? Possibly using the IE.au3 udf? I looked and couldn't find how to do this.

thanks, ill have a look.

The reason I asked is because using the firefox 'page info' feature, I was able to see the referrer of the page. The referrer url in question contains some php values being passed that I could really use. Since firefox was able to get this information, I thought that IE could somehow extract this URL.

You might not be able to extract it, but you can (if you have fast fingers) - take a screen shot right before it takes you to the next website.

All by me:

"Sometimes you have to go back to where you started, to get to where you want to go." 

"Everybody catches up with everyone, eventually"

I'd never looked at this before, but it turns out taht referrer is a document property and easily accessible. This would be a good addition to _IEPropertyGet... here is an example:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach("AutoIt")
ConsoleWrite($oIE.document.referrer & @CR)

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

thanks dale,

actually i spent a good 10 min rereading _IEPropertyGet when looking for this functionality thinking that it would be the most logical place to find it.
