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.

 

Thank

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.
