Have you tried to open different links in the same session?

I've now completed Global Links support via the website.

This doesn't require a plugin update!

You can access Global Links via the Global Links tab on the website.

Server Links VS Global Links
- Global Links are downloaded by all your registered servers.
- Server Links are downloaded by the registered server.
- Server Links override Global Links!

I have also been having problems opening web pages, so I made a solution similar to how this plugin works. While experimenting with it, I found some interesting things out about how the problem works and a fairly simple way to workaround it.

Opening the first web page (since connecting to the server) works as expected and loads the requested URL. It also caches the domain of the request.
When the client closes the web page, the last page they were on is cached, regardless of where they navigated to (could be another domain).
When the client opens another web page, if the requested URL has the same domain as the cached domain, it simply navigates them to the last page they were on (note: it reloads that page).

This seems to be the behavior for both CS:GO and TF2. However, in CS:GO, since the initial page is hidden and just opens a popup, this means that attempting to open another web page will simply open the same initial page which just re-opens the same popup as before. The popup itself does not have this limitation, so a service that gives you a random popup URL would work fine.

Now comes the workaround. If the next web page requested is on a different domain than the cached one, the previously cached values are replaced. This means you can bounce between two redirect/popup domains and the client will be sent to the desired web pages without having to implement tokens and back-end state.

For example, in order to send a client to arbitrary web pages 4 times, you could send them to these imaginary addresses:

Code:

http://mysite.com/popup.php?url=http://example.net/a
http://mysite2.com/popup.php?url=http://example.net/b
http://mysite.com/popup.php?url=http://example.net/c
http://mysite2.com/popup.php?url=http://example.net/d

Note: This only works with domains, not subdomains. For those who don't have 2 domains, a 3rd party service can probably provide that for most users. The plugin simply needs to keep a boolean flag for each user (which it will toggle each time) to determine which domain to use.

You need the servers to send the end point URL to the redirect service to get a proper work around.

1. Client uses server command for a URL
2. Server sends URL to redirection service with a qualifier like a SteamID
3. Server receives response that the request has processed / store to a database
4. Server sends MOTD request to client with the qualifier
5. Client connects to redirection service with the qualifier
6. Redirection service reads end point URL from step 2
7. Client redirects to requested end point

Eg: The client always sends the same qualifying URL such as: http://weblync.xxxxxxxx.com/redirect.php?SteamId=<SteamID>
