Finding the source of the web traffic

Hi,
Does anyone know a fool proof way of finding the source where a user comes from?
For example - if http://www.mypage.com is a web site i am running and if i post this url in a site like craigslist.org, is there a way i can find out that the user came from craigslist.org.
Not very sure if getReferer() would wotk? SOme times it doesn't give the original source.
Regards

I don't know where you're talking about with the getReferer() method.
At least it is available in HttpServletRequest#getHeader("referer").
Be aware that the client has full control over what he sends with the HTTP headers. There are also some antivirus/security packs which removes or fools the HTTP referrer (e.g. Norton Internet Security). At the server side you absolutely haven't control over it.

  • A friend gave me an older Nano 3rd generation. Can anyone tell me how to delete what is on there and how to get rid of his name. It does not connect to my itunes. I cannot even find the source or the place to restore it as suggested in the owners manual.

    I have a 3rd generation ipod that a friend gave me. I cannot find anything on how to get rid of his name and music on it. This is what the owners manual says:
    "Select ipod nano in the soiurce list and click the summary tab" I cannot find the source or the summary tab on itunes. Can any one help me? I would like to delete everything on it and start over but I am afraid I cannot add anything back on it. I know this is detailed and a lot, but I really need help.

    Restore
    Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
    How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
    1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
    4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
    5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in?

    How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in? This application must be in Lab View 8.

    you mean something like this (see below)?
    Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc.  But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
    Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..

  • My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on.

    My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there an easy fix. I have been advised by Apple that the latest IOS update may overcome this situation but I'm only on slow download speeds and 690 Mb would take forever. I would appreciate any advice.
    Best regards,

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • How to separate the source and the measured current

    Hi Everybody,
    I'd like to know if there is some way to separate the source and the measured current and just writte an mathematical expression to make a dependence between the source and the said parameter. Thanks in advance.

    Sure,
    Here is the deal:
    I'd like to build a circuit with dependent sources, but instead of connecting the sense of current/voltage, I'd like to know if there is a way to writte a sentence for the source which is dependent of a parameter.
    For example:
    In this circuit I just wrote an expression for the source and its respective parameter. (8*Io).

  • SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

    Hi,
    We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
    Sathish

    Hi,
    Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
    Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
    If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.

  • Finding which source is the correct one for a compiled class file

    I have a compiled class (myclass.class) and 3 source files for it (myclass.java). Is there any method, utility, or software that will let me find which source file is the correct one?
    I have about a 100 of these classes which have a lot of copies of the source and we don't know which source is the correct one. The compiled classes are deployed and working and cannot be replaced.
    Thank you for your time!

    Thank you all for your suggestions but..
    1. Recompiling the existing sources and checksum the compiled classes is not a full solution. In addition to finding the version of the compiler that was used and the version of the JDK libraries that were used, I do not know which switches were used when the class was compiled (e.g. -g will output debug info, etc.)
    2. Decompiling: I could not find a good enough decompiler I tried jad which failed with some of the classes; I tries JDec which I did not feel I can fully trust the output (format was less accurate than jad). I tried jode which is limited to java 1.3.
    3. Versioning: our project now is actually to move all the source to Subversion.
    If there is a better decompiler or a way to ensure that a given source file matches the compiled class, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Finding the source of the photo

    ok new to iphoto. i just imported a bunch of photos from a folder with many photos. i see that i have duplicates.
    a.) how can i view the source of each photo to determine where its located on my hard drive?
    so that i can delete the right photo or folder...

    dcginc:
    If you imported the photos into iPhoto they will be located in your User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals folder. If you didn't delete the original set of photos that you imported then you will have two sets. Where were the photos located when you first imported into iPhoto?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
