set_referer

set_referer(); - set the referrer in JS : navigator.referer. (Available from version 4.10.1)

The function accepts parameters as input:

  • $referer – the referrer that will be used for subsequent navigation. When passing an empty string, the default referrer will be used.

    After testing, the function returns the result of its work to the script :
  • true – successfully set
  • false – failed to set

    PHP example:

    //go to the given address
    <?php $xhe_host = "127.0.0.1:7013";
     
    //connect the object to control the emulator, if not already connected
    if(!isset($path))
       $path = "../../../Templates/xweb_human_emulator.php";
    require($path);
     
    //Start
    echo "<hr> <font color = blue> browser->".basename(__FILE__)."</font> <hr>";
     
    //1 step
    echo "1.Let's set a referrer:";
    echo $browser->set_referer("https://ya.ru")."<br>";
     
    //step 2
    echo "2.Get the parameters(with a referrer):";
    echo $browser->navigate("https://browserleaks.com/javascript");
    sleep(5);
     
    $browser->run_java_script("alert(document.referrer);");
     
    echo $browser->navigate("http://httpbin.org/get");
     
    $raw->enable_all_streams(false);
     
    //end
    echo "<hr> <br>";
     
    //Quit
    $app->quit();
    ?>

    Python example:

    # Additional paths
    import sys
    sys.path.insert(0, '../../../Templates PY/')
     
    xhe_host = "127.0.0.1:7010"
    from xweb_human_emulator import *
     
    # Start
    echo("<hr> <font color = blue> browser.xxxxxxxxx </font> <hr>")
     
    raw.enable_all_streams(true)
     
    # 1 step
    echo("1.Let's set a referrer:")
    echo(browser.set_referer("https: # ya.ru"), "<br>")
     
    # 2 step
    echo("2.Get the parameters(with a referrer):")
    echo(browser.navigate("http://www.cyscape.com/showbrow.asp?doJvmd=1&bhcp=1"), "
    ")
    sleep(15)
     
    # 3 step
    echo("3.Get the parameters(with a referrer):")
    echo(browser.navigate("http://www.whoer.net/extended"))
    sleep(5)
     
    browser.run_java_script("alert(document.referrer))")
    raw.enable_all_streams(false)
     
    # end
    echo("<hr> <br>")
     
    # Quit
    app.quit()
