How to get a reference path request?

Question

I need a referrer path. I do not want a domain name. For example, if the referrer is http://www.google.com/adsense I want /adsense .

Answer 1

request.referer returns a string, but you can use the Ruby URI Module to wrap it, and then just ask it along its path:

 if URI(request.referer).path == '/adsense' 

Answer 2

You can access the referrer using

 request.referer 

Answer 3

Try this to get a way to abstract your request.

 request.env['HTTP_REFERER'].sub(request.base_url, '') => '/adsense'
