Getting the HTTP referer

[dvanhussel]

Is it possible in Ebase to check the HTTP referer?

We want to check if a form was started from our CMS or from another page/a users bookmark. So we can redirect them to a CMS page.

Should be:

Code: Select all

var referer = client.request.getHeader("referer");

Unfortunately, this does not work.

If the form is run the first time, referer is the url of the form, not the url of the page where the form was called from.

When the form is run a second time in the same browser session, referer is 'null'.

Is the 'Ebase Check of Browser capabilities' interfering?

Yes, I think you're right - the browser check mechanism is getting in the way. It should work after the session has been initialised.
