Android Question Un-Mask A URL

[MODERN TALKING]

URL Masking
means that the visitors to the domain name will be forwarded to your destination website, however the URL in their browser address bar will remain the same. Also known as Stealth Redirection or URL Hiding, this will ensure that your visitors see the original domain name and not the destination URL.

Guys, is there any way to get the Masked URL from the current page?

Reward due to the kind soul who can help me solve this vexing problem

Danke!

Stumbled upon this:

'HTTP_HOST' - shows the frame url
"SERVER_NAME" - shows the file's server name

So if the file is on xyz.com - "SERVER_NAME" will show xyz.com
If you execute "SERVER_NAME" on abc.com - it will show abc.com

There are many ways to keep the abc.com in xyz.com - like QueryString

How to implement in B4A?

Check the returned html and see whether it contains an iframe. There are many ways to hide the URL and in many cases the client will never see the "real" URL.

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Thank you Erel - yup, there is an iFrame which contains what 'seems' to be a URL but with lotsa extra digits and doesn't load

Is there ANY way to get the "real" URL?

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Is it contained in the iFrame and have to Decode or something?

 

[Erel]

Can you post a link to that page?

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Hi Erel,

A VERY sensitive Government Website in Asia - too afraid to post it anywhere

I try Roycefer's method he posted - if not working, then I find a similar Website to the one I'm dealing with

Thank you so much for offering to help

You are DA MAN and we all LOVE YOU Erel

[MODERN TALKING]

Promise you not gonna snitch to Kim Jong-Un?

 

[sorex]

LOL

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Sorex, you have a VPN?

Connect to a Malaysia Server, Kuala Lumpur - then http://www.pornhub.com

BLOCKED and REDIRECTED to Government Warning - BUT - the URL stays the same www.pornhub.com

Can you get the Government Website URL - the one with the Warning?

 

[MODERN TALKING]

We're doing CIA, MOSSAD, MI6, FSB work on this guys

JUST JOKING GUYS

 

[sorex]

that happends at dns level, you won't be able to bypass without forced dns, proxy or VPNs

 

[MODERN TALKING]

I can access Pornhub - NOT THAT I WANT TO, just an example

Not a nerdy, geeky, pimply-faced perverted masturbator in my parent's basement - HIHIHI

What I meant was to get the Government Website URL which shows the Warning Message if I try to access Pornhub - for example

 

[MODERN TALKING]

The solution 'seems' to be this:

Yes, accessing parent page's URL is not allowed if the iframe and the main page are not in the same (sub)domain. However, if you just need the URL of the main page (i.e. the browser URL), you can try this:

var url =(window.location != window.parent.location)? document.referrer
: document.location.href;

I was struggling with the same issue and got this solution from an other source. Worked for me.

 

[sorex]

overhere they block certain casino sites that don't have a license.

it happends at dns level so you simply can't bypass it.

 

[sorex]

why don't you just check the content for certain strings instead of injecting javascript?

 

[MODERN TALKING]

Check the HTML for the URL - but how? It's Masked - not changing

 

[sorex]

what it is that you want to achieve?

 

[MODERN TALKING]

1. Enter URL to Main Page
2. Navigate to other Pages on Same Website
3. New Page loads BUT URL does NOT CHANGE - Masked
4. Need the REAL URL of this New Page on Same Website
