| # `--referer` | |
| Set the referrer URL in the HTTP request. This can also be set with the | |
| --header flag of course. When used with --location you can append `;auto`" to | |
| the --referer URL to make curl automatically set the previous URL when it | |
| follows a Location: header. The `;auto` string can be used alone, even if you | |
| do not set an initial --referer. |
