url referer

[Mattastic]

Hi,

Is there anyway you can use coldfusion to get the full url of a webpage?

#cgi.HTTP_REFERER# works but only if a link is actually clicked pointing to it .

Hope you can help.

Thanks

CGI.HTTP_HOST and CGI.PATH_INFO may give you what you want. Try using this:
<CFSET website = CGI.HTTP_HOST & CGI.PATH_INFO>

Nothing about referer. Just to say I'm jealous about [url]http://www.deline.com[/url]
There.

<cfif CGI.HTTPS eq "On">
<cfset currentURL = "https://">
<cfelse>
<cfset currentURL = "http://">
</cfif>
<cfset currentURL = currentURL & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & CGI.PATH_INFO>
<cfif CGI.QUERY_STRING neq "">
<cfset currentURL = currentURL & "?" & CGI.QUERY_STRING>
</cfif>

<cfoutput>#currentURL#</cfoutput>

Note: this code tested on Netscape Enterprise. Different web servers have
different definitions of CGI.PATH_INFO and CGI.SCRIPT_NAME, mainly IIS.

Here's the official spec definition of the CGI variables:
[url]http://cgi-spec.golux.com/ncsa/env.html[/url]
and another source:
[url]http://search.cpan.org/src/LDS/CGI.pm-3.11/cgi_docs.html#environment[/url]

For this URL:
[url]https://www.mysite.com/dir1/dir2/MyPage.html/foo/bar?Test=Yes[/url]

CGI.SCRIPT_NAME should be:
/dir1/dir2/MyPage.html
CGI.PATH_INFO should be:
/foo/bar
CGI.QUERY_STRING should be:
Test=Yes
