Type

A String value

Syntax

object.Referer [= value]
The Referer(object,value) syntax has these parts:

valueA String value.

Remarks

This property allows you to specify, for the server's benefit, the address of the document from which the URI in the request was obtained. This allows a server to generate list of back-links to documents, for interest, logging, etc. It allows bad links to be traced for maintenance.

This property is just a 'shortcut' to Request.Headers("Referer") value.
