Hi
How can I tell if URL was manually access by user or refer by link?
Eg, in a webpage, there were images downloaded from S3 storage vs user goto the S3 storage.

How to tell if URL was manually access by user or refer by link?

Hi,
You can distinguish between direct access and referred access to a URL by examining the HTTP referer header. When a user clicks a link to access a resource, the referer header contains the URL of the referring page. If the user manually types the URL or accesses it through a bookmark, the referer header might be empty or not present.
