I'm looking for a quick, easy and reliable way of getting the browser's HTTP Referrer in ASP.Net (C#). I know the HTTP Referrer itself is unreliable, but I do want a reliable way of getting the referrer if it is present.

It's available in the HTTP referer header. You can get it in a servlet as follows: String referrer = request. getHeader("referer"); // Yes, with the legendary misspelling.
http referrer indicates the previous page that has submitted data or linked to the new page. you can get it in ASP.NET using like. C# Copy Code. //PageName comes from HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl and is supplied by the Page_Load event.
There might be several reasons why the referer URL would be blank. It will/may be empty when the enduser: entered the site URL in browser address bar itself. visited the site by a browser-maintained bookmark.
You could use the UrlReferrer property of the current request:
Request.UrlReferrer This will read the Referer HTTP header from the request which may or may not be supplied by the client (user agent).
