linked pages

[Dew Baboeram]

Hi

Here is a problem in vb.net I cannot solve.
I have a page (firstpage.aspx) that has a hyperlink, which open
secondpage.aspx.
In the pageload of secondpage.aspx I want to retrieve the name of the page
that linked to the second page (the name of firstpage.aspx).
The httprequest object does not have a property of the page that connected
to the currentpage. How do I get this information in vb.net?

Most agents should send the HTTP_REFERER server variable. Note that is not
reliable.

What is the purpose ? (a step in amulti step process that can come from
several other steps ?).

note: this is very unreliable, as serveral proxy servers now strip this for
security.
