### HTTP

- The {{httpheader("Referer")}} HTTP header is now sent in requests following a page refresh that redirects to a new page (if permitted by the {{httpheader("Referrer-Policy")}}), and {{domxref("document.referrer")}} will be set to the referrer URL after navigating.
The page refresh may be triggered by the {{httpheader("Refresh")}} response header, or equivalent {{htmlelement("meta")}} in markup (for example `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=https://www.mozilla.org" />`).
Note that same-page refreshes are treated as same-page navigation to a page fragment: since the page isn't re-requested, {{httpheader("Referer")}} isn't sent.
