Referrer data not being passed when using the Navigate method of the WebBrowser Control
Many web sites use the HTTP_REFERRER data to insure that access to a web
page came from the appropriate previously selected web page. When using the
navigate method of the WebBrowser control, the referrer property of the
document object is left blank. If you select a hyperlink in a web page
displayed in the control, the property is set correctly. Is there a way to
have the Navigate method set the referrer property correctly or
programmatically select the hyperlink on the page without using the navigate
method? It seems that the Document property of the WebBrowser control is
ReadOnly so I'm not sure how I could programmatically select a hyperlink.
Thanks for any help,
John
