Hi folks, is there any way to change the http referer information that is being passed from a web page. for example, I thought if I put a link on a page called refererpage.com pointing to mypage.com which redirects to customerpage.com that the referer would be mypage.com but unfortunately this is not the case. It is still displaying as refererpage.com. Is there a way that I can edit or block the referer information on mypage.com?
Regards Oliver

Hi folks, I know this is a hard one but if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
Here's an example of what I mean:- see the page here: http://www.barrowvale.com/refererpage.asp
The page is refered by www.barrowvale.com/refererpage.asp to www.barrowvale.com/adprovisionservice.asp and then redirected to www.barrowvale.com/customerpage.asp. and yet the referer page is showing as follows:-
referer page (<%=request.servervariables("http_referer")%>) = http://www.barrowvale.com/refererpage.asp
One would think it should show as www.barrowvale.com/adprovisionservice.asp. Is there any way to change, reset or block the http_referer while redirecting in the intermediate page?
I hope someone can solve this problem
Kind Regards Oliver

Hi folks, still no solution to this question? I found this page about how to Secure your web server from prying eyes http://www.asp101.com/articles/wayne/pryingeyes/default.asp and I wonder could an ISAPI Filter be configured to hide or block the http referer (referrer) information in the header?
Any ideas?
