Are the complete redirects saved anywhere? - We'd like to see the full URL string that was sent to our servers - and potentailly compare some data off of them and data in our servers for debugging/linkage.


When setting up redirects, you only specify the base URL - but it seems as though it returns the same values as was passed in when the study got hit - however, none of those variables seemed to be saved in the data, but they are being remembered.


Is there a way to get at those pieces of data?

Following on with a similar them here.  We mistakenly used 'random selection' as the subject identification instead of the query parameter which held the unique id.  As the redirect url out of Inquisit would contain this unique id, is there any way we can now access what the exit url was for each respondent?


thanks Martin

Hi Kameelyan,


The Inquisit launch page caches any url parameters that are passed in when the subject navigates to the launch page and then automatically appends them to the redirect URL at the end of the experiment. So, yes, Inquisit does return the same values as those that were passed in.


If you've configured your launch page to get the subject id from a url parameter, that particular value is saved in the subject id of your data set. None of the other values would be saved, however. They are just sent back via the redirect at the end.


Our server logs record the full url of every visit to millisecond.com, so those logs could tell us any url parameters that were passed to the launch page when the subject first navigates to it. However, if you want to see the full URL that was sent back to your server, you would have to check your server logs. In either case, they should have the same url values.


Hope this helps,


Sean

Hi Martin, one of your colleagues emailed me directly about this on Friday, and I've sent a reply with a request for some additional info so that I can help you map the randomly assigned ids to the ids assigned by your system.

Our respondents provider have a specific addition to the link.

It looks like this:

http://research.millisecond.com/online/RTstudy.web?r=123456&s=abcde&l=9&__qid=hRedirectBack&src=73

For identification purpose we need two variables: "r" and "s".
Because I set "r" as url parameter in data files we have only that variable as "subject".

Is there any chance to save "s" variable also. Or all additional part of the link?

If you happen to use Inquisit 4 Web, you could capture an additional query parameter as groupid. Otherwise no, there is no way to capture the entire incoming link in the data file.
