Redirecting a URL using an ASP script

You'll have to excuse me, asp isn't my thing...

Heres what I am trying to do. There is a link out there:
/cmd.asp?af=415652&u=http://www.drdavesbest.com/fountain_of_youth.html


and right now it leads to the page it says there at the end of the URL.

I need it to lead to http://www.drdavesbest.com/misc/fountain_of_youth.html

But I don't have control over the original link (it's on an affiliates website).

The existing ASP script looks something like this:

 if request("af")<>"" then 'aftrack
  dest=baseurl&"/app/aftrack.asp?afid="&request("af")&"&u="&request("u")
 elseif request("ad")<>"" then 'adtrack
  dest=baseurl&"/app/adtrack.asp?adid="&request("ad")
 elseif request("imp")<>"" then 'Track Impressions
  dest=baseurl&"/app/?imp="&request("imp")
 elseif request("clk")<>"" then 'Track Clicks
  dest=baseurl&"/app/?clk="&request("clk")
 elseif request("email1")<>"" then 'contact
  dest=baseurl&"/app/contactsave.asp?merchantid="&merchantid
  if request.querystring<>"" then dest=dest & "&" & request.querystring
  if request.form<>"" then dest=dest & "&" & request.form

Code (markup):

Is there an 'if' statement that I can put in there to do the redirect? What would it go? Do I need to change anything up there? Is this even possible? Thx!

 

response.redirect request("u")

is this what you wanted ????

 

Yes, you're the second person to suggest this to me..
How do I implement that in the above code? Thx a million for your help!

 

I noticed that the URL that you want it to go to has a "misc" directory between the domain and the page name, but it is not there in the URL in the "u" paramter.

Do you need to add the "misc" directory into the path when you redirect?

 

could you please explain what is doing your code

 if request("af")<>"" then 'aftrack
  dest=baseurl&"/app/aftrack.asp?afid="&request("af")&"&u="&request("u")
 elseif request("ad")<>"" then 'adtrack
  dest=baseurl&"/app/adtrack.asp?adid="&request("ad")
 elseif request("imp")<>"" then 'Track Impressions
  dest=baseurl&"/app/?imp="&request("imp")
 elseif request("clk")<>"" then 'Track Clicks
  dest=baseurl&"/app/?clk="&request("clk")
 elseif request("email1")<>"" then 'contact
  dest=baseurl&"/app/contactsave.asp?merchantid="&merchantid
  if request.querystring<>"" then dest=dest & "&" & request.querystring
  if request.form<>"" then dest=dest & "&" & request.form

Code (markup):

i think you need to do the following:

response.redirect dest
response.end

Code (markup):

or you need to do the following

response.redirect request.querystring("u")
response.end

Code (markup):

I am not sure what is your code for
you need to add the above lines at the very end of your document

 

The code is to determine which affiliate gets credit for the link, then redirect them to the proper page. Depending on the URL string they come from, a different action is assigned.

 

This is very simple, You only need to write the redirection code. Syntax for it is.

Response.redirect("Abc.html"). In your case. if we apply redrirection it wil become

if request("af")<>"" then 'aftrack
dest=baseurl&"/app/aftrack.asp?afid="&request("af")&"&u="&request("u")
response.redirect(dest)
elseif request("ad")<>"" then 'adtrack
dest=baseurl&"/app/adtrack.asp?adid="&request("ad")
response.redirect(dest)

elseif request("imp")<>"" then 'Track Impressions

dest=baseurl&"/app/?imp="&request("imp")
response.redirect(dest)

elseif request("clk")<>"" then 'Track Clicks
dest=baseurl&"/app/?clk="&request("clk")
response.redirect(dest)

elseif request("email1")<>"" then 'contact
dest=baseurl&"/app/contactsave.asp?merchantid="&merchantid
response.redirect(dest)

Hope it helps you..
