I would like to know the referrer passed to the landing page when there is redirect set to external url.

When I check in firebug the referrer is the landing page. Sometimes it even looks a blank referrer passed. Is it possible to pass the originating page as a referrer instead.

if A is the page the "CCK redirect field" assigned to redirect page B, sometimes page B is passed as a referrer. In other instances even a blank referrer is passed. How is it possible to pass A as a referrer?
Or more generally what is the way to control the referrer?

We don't modify the http headers with this module; the referrer will be the last page returned before the redirection action. For divert this will probably be the page before you click the link to the node cck_redirection is acting on, since the server is rerouting the request directly and the page itself is never sent to the browser. This is probably why you see a blank referrer, you've gone to the page with the divert directly in your browser and there was no prior page.
