I would like to make a 1 pixel image that will reside on the
html page to track page activity I have a page http:/domain.com/mypage.htm and
I want to add <img src='http://www.test.com/myimage.aspx' /> somewhere in
its body
When page is triggered I render an one pixel transparent
image. I'm having an issue finding out the URL of the page that image is on.
HTTP_REFERER header carrier the true referer of the page, and HTTP_HOST carries
the URL of the image itself.
Is there a way to find out the HTML page URL that the image
is on?

08-Dec-2014You can analysis the request headers of myimage.aspx, the Referer header is the HTML page URL you're looking for. Besides, I suggest adding a timestamp with the <img> src link, like this:
So that every time you refresh the HTML page, the browser invoke a new request to the image.

08-Dec-2014If you can't find it on any http header, you can always send some information like <img src='http://www.test.com/myimage.aspx?page=mypage' />.
If you can use javascript though, you don't need to display an image, use an ajax request instead.
