No. You have to use a "Location" header to do that.

"Referer" is a *request* header. It doesn't belong in a HTTP *response*. The
client's browser might provide a Referer header at the new location if it's
configured to do so (most browsers are). But you have no control over this.

Try checking the HTTP specification: <http://rfc.net/rfc2616.html>
