UrlReferrer Is Always NULL?
Apr 29, 2010
Here's the scenario, we've built a url shortener (that we use only to shorten urls for Twitter to our website), and we also track the number of times a url has been clicked. So, for example.. the url might be something like "http://ourshortdomain.com/x9Mr"
Now, in many cases, we see as many as 1000 or 2000 clicks per shortened url, but the referrer is almost always null. How can this be, if the only place we're handing out that shortened url is on Twitter? Shouldn't all the url referrers be coming from Twitter?...

I am redirecting between two pages, when I use a hyperlink I get the Page1 in the UrlReferrer field, but using Response.Redirect gives it null.
AFAIK both of them act similarly for a redirection.

I am trying to get the QueryString value like this Request.QueryString("SYSTEM") from a UrlReferrer. I see i can use this Request.UrlReferrer.Query() but it doesn't allow me to specify the exact parameter I could parse the Query() value, but I want to know if it is possible to do something like this Request.UrlReferrer.QueryString("SYSTEM")

I am developing a .net website using Visual Studio 2008.
Now this webpage should be open only from link available on other website. User should not be able to type the URL directly in browser and should not be able to open this way directly. When user logs in to other website, there is a link for my website and when user clicks on that link, then only my website should be opened up.
Now, I can not use "Request.UrlReferrer" because it is not 100% correct way as there are many ways that URLReferrer can be blocked by browser or by some antivirus or etc, so I cannot use URLReferrer on my webpage to check from where this page is opened up.
Now my question is what is the best way to check on my webpage that my site has been opened up only from that source? I can also pass some querystring from that website but I am not sure how can I make sure that my webpage opens up only from that source, not when user directly types URL in the browser.

I came upon an interesting discussion with my team around the use of HttpRequest.UrlReferrer and wanted to solicit feedback from the community. According to the W3C spec:
The Referer[sic] request-header field allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the Request-URI was obtained (the"referrer", although the header field is misspelled.) The Referer request-header allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. The Referer field MUST NOT be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard.as input from the user keyboard.
The Request.UrlReferrer object does the work of converting referral strings that contain well formed URIs to an object with properties on every request. According to our logs there are requests that come in that contain invalid data in the referral such as:
localhost
app:/BeamBackTest.swf
app:/multtiple.swf
app:/AFriendFeed.swf
ALToolBar
app:/index.html
mhtml:file://C:Documents+and+SettingsUserDesktoporacleWhat+is+a+View+in+Oracle+-+Stack+Overflow.mht
Using Request.UrlReferrer would mean the above cases would be NULL. Is it better to discard the invalid data based on the W3C spec by using Request.UrlReferrer or preserve it by using Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] even though the data may be interesting, but potentially useless.

I want to use UrlReferrer after the user has signed-in.
Can UrlReferrer also refer to a webpage outside of the web project? .. this is not what I want...

I am working on an app where users are only allowed access if they click through from certain URLs. I.e. I need to authenticate by using the referral url and I am using
Request.UrlReferrer to achieve this.
I am guessing that the Request.UrlReferrer can be tampered with by malicious users to gain access...

I have the following code in 'main.cs' file where I am checking for a condition
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.Form.Get("task") != null && Request.Form.Get("postToURL") != null &&
Request.UrlReferrer.ToString().Substring(0, 31).Equals("http://cs.astra.co.in:4040"))
{
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
<SO ON>
Instead of checking for the URL [URL] in 'main.cs', Can I check for the same condition in the 'web.config' file ? If so, How can I do that ?? Is there any way to transfer the part -- Request.UrlReferrer.ToString().Substring(0, 31).Equals[URL] -- into the 'web.config' !!

I have setup my business object to have a create_date and edit_date members both datetime datatypes. My company want to display the create_date and edit_date fields in a gridview for each transaction. The problem i have is that after insterting a record it will have a valid create_date but no edit_date and when displayed in the gridview it defaults to datetime.minvalue (My default). How on earth do i show an empty field in my gridview for a null datetime field in the database?
I am using similar architecture to the Imar Spaanjaars example of a tiered solution. With a few small tweeks it has worked well for me for ages. I am passing a List<Database> to my object datasource which connects to my gridview.

I have 2 table Table A, Table B.
Table A - Parent Table
ID - Uniqueidentifier not null(PK)
Table B -Child Table
ID - uniqueidentifier null(FK, TableA)
I have a stored procedure to insert data into Table B, but when I tried to insert a null value into column ID of table B, this error came up:
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_tableB_tableA". The conflict occurred in database "database name", table "table A", column 'ID'.
The statement has been terminated.
The insert statement in asp.net is like so:
sqlcommand.parameter.add(New Sqlparameter("ID", Nothing))
I am guessing adding nothing to the null value column is the problem, but i don't know how to fix it... The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_tableB_tableA". The conflict occurred in database "database name", table "table A", column 'ID'.

I have a problem with a SessionVariable. I will explain what is happening:
1. From the default.aspx I send Session["LoginByAdmin"] = "Dummy"; and then redirect to this page where I have the code below. So the Page_Load sees that this Session["LoginByAdmin"] != null and enter this page. This works fine !
2. In the Page_Load, I later fill a ListBox1 with foldernames.
3. With Button1_Click1, I will now delete the choosen Folder in the ListBox1 wich works fine the first time and the ListBox updates the new existing folders in the ListBox. (I have wrapped this inside an updatepanel)
The problems comes now when I try to delete a choosen folder in the ListBox1 the second time in a row. When I select a Folder in the ListBox1 and now Press Button1, I will be redirected to "Default.aspx". This meens that this code is running: (That meens that Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null and I have not set this to null anywhere. This is my big question how this variable can be = null here?
if (Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null)
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
break;

I've been working on building a back end on an access database that allows users to search records using a web search box. I've been able to successfully set up simple search query's but have run into trouble where multiple criteria with "AND" statements (OR statements would return too much to be useful). My problem is this, when all five text boxes are filled out the query returns records no problem, but if even one is left blank i get nothing what so ever. Is there any thing I can do in either SQL or VB to either ignore null values entirely or convert them to wildcard values?

I am using a ScriptManager in my aspx page and when I run on the submit button within the page I am receiving a "Page cannot be null" error message. I have looked around but cannot find anything that deals with this. I am writing in C# using VS2008 with the latest .NET framework, and the ScriptManager is for two Infragistics controls for multiline purposes
