I have created custom 404 and 500 Error Pages.

I wanted to capture the page's URL where 404/500 error occured. I tried using Request.ServerVariables(HTTP_REFERER) but it is getting an empty string.

Is there any way to get the page's URL?

Thanks.

The custom 404 ASP page should be able to get the referer value. I just tested it on my site. You do need the HTTP_REFERER in quotes.

Lukas,

I do have it in quotes.

Here's my code:

<p><%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")%></p>
<p>Page Not Found</p>

I'm still getting an empty string.

I got it wrong when I was testing it. I was entering the invalid URL at the browser instead of clicking. That's why the HTTP_REFERER is empty.

However, when I tried clicking an Invalid URL, the value I'm getting for HTTP_REFERER is the page where I clicked the URL. I was hoping to get the Invalid URL itself.

The QUERY_STRING value should give the broken link URL.
