This is a browser feature, and any polite browser will send the correct
header (although various 'security' tools will override this with a fake
referer). If you explain what you are trying to achieve we may be able to
offer assistance (unless you're trying to get round anti-hotlinking code,
in which case you'll likely to be flamed).
