The Referer header isn't automatically sent; if you write an HTTP client,
and you want to send it, you have to make sure it's part of your HTTP
header. Using CFHTTP, this requires that you use the CFHTTPPARAM tag to send
the appropriate CGI variable, I suppose:
<cfhttp url="..."
method="post">
<cfhttpparam type="CGI" name="Referer"
value="http://server/page.cfm";>
...
</cfhttp>
