AFAIK, referer page is the page that *linked* you to another page...
ie,
i'm browsing a page called --
www.thesite.org/first_page.jsp
and that page has a link to second_page.jsp
When i click on that link and my browser requests second_page.jsp, the
server will log a hit for second_page.jsp. Among the info logged for
this hit will be the info on what page "sent" me to second_page.jsp
So in this case, when i go to the second_page.jsp and i have code like
request.getHeader("Referer");
this will return "first_page.jsp"
