Can eValid identify the server that was used to support a website?

Remember that eValid is a browser and when it issues a request to navigate to a particular URL it received data over the web from some server, but which server it is from is usually NOT discernable from what you see on the screen.

But, if the URL that you see in the Address bar identifies the server, then you're home free.

The next place to look is inside the EventLog. When DetailedTimings is turned on, you will see the complete URLs for every part of every page and in this case the detail there may help you identify the server.

Remember, however, that in case there are load balancers or other intermeidate redirections between the requested URL and the delivered material, then the actual identify of the server may not be something you can determine. After all, that kind of anonymity is part of the beauty of the web, isn't it?
