I have used the code “request.getHeader(“Referer”);” The code seemed to work fine. But recently I found out that it is not working in IE. IE was throwing null. I am now left clueless about how to go forward. Is there any alternative for “Referer” header which can get the previous link and work correctly in all the browsers? Setting a custom header from the previous link is not a viable option for me. So someone please help me out on this.
Thanks.

    The “Referer” header entry is optional. You cannot rely on it being present. There is no cross-browser way to get the previous link because this depends on the user settings and proxy configuration (i.e. what the system administrators think they should allow you to see).

    You must find a way to live without this information.
