Download - Referrer

[Tiger]

How can I set the Referrer of an autoit script. If I load a file from my server, then stands in the log file AutoIt as referrer. How can I change that?

[GrungeRocker]

Please be more accurate...

I don't get what you mean.

Are you downloading the file with a AutoIt script?

[Tiger]

I download a file with an autoit script. and then I look into my server logfile, I see AutoIt as referrer

LOL, that is one vague little screenshot, since you're having trouble offering the information, I'll ask you for it:

What kind of file? (Looking for a filetype here)

What kind of server? FTP? WWW? (Protocol)

What kind of server as in Apache or something else? (would help if anyone's already familiar with what you're using)

What are you expecting to see that you're not seeing? (what should it be showing)

How are you downloading the file with the AutoIt script? (are you using INetGet or something else)

You said you're using an autoit script to download a file, we'd love to see it posted which would answer a lot of these questions for you.

*Edit - Come on now, you've got 217 posts and you don't include all of this stuff when asking for help?

LOL.

I use INetGet. And that is a http-download. I would like to change the referrer. In the moment is AutoIt the referrer.

[Jos]

Referer is the site the person was browsing and contained the reference to your server/site.

The man speaks the truth. So I take it from your response Jos that INetGet shouldn't cause the Referrer to show as coming from AutoIt?

[Tiger]

And how can I change the referrer? I would like to use File-Loader as Referrer.

Show me the column header for that column you show in your screenshot. If it doesn't say "user-agent" then you have a piece of shit software written by people who don't know how HTTP works.

Hint: It's called USER AGENT. The referrer is something completely different.

Edit: Go with the UDF in the next post, its more complete

Hey,

Thats the UserAgent, anyway this should work in most cases.

I bet it's the user agent, maybe try an UDF that allows you to specify your own agent?

Edit: Too damn slow.

Sry. autoit is browser, and i would like to change that in another name

[James]

AutoIt is not the browser.

Oh dear lord.

[BrettF]

So how thick is his skull? Place your bets now...

EDIT: And I imagine the person that wrote that is saying that the user agent is the browser?

You should feel embarrassed and shuffle off sheepishly.

Aimed at OP

[Valik]

Blame the OP for not being able to keep columns straight. Blame the crappy software for making an over-generalization and considering every client a browser which is patently retarded.
