Use of HTTP_REFERER in Global.asa

[Dave Anderson]

Probably a lack of understanding of either (a) when a session
starts, or (b) when the HTTP_REFERER header is sent.

Aaron was probably right on when he suggested global.asa was not firing at
all. This would be true if the OP failed to set up the folder as an
Application, and would fall under (a) above.

When ever my website is opened by any link: say clicked from the google

search result or a link from other website:

Then I should able to know the referrer URL. How Do I get that?

I know about Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"). So I used this in
"global.asa" file in "Session_OnStart" event like this:

Sub Session_OnStart
Session("ReferralURL") = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd
Session("ReferralURL") = ""
End Sub

So that I can use the session variable any where in my website, because the
HTTP_REFERER will give the URL of the last webpage.

But this seems to not working.

Please help.

Thanks
