Ma Referer length

All,
I have a question about the Max Referer length.
By default this is 256
I am not fully sure I understand this property. It this a
header that is sent back to the Server by a client and is
it part of the URL.
While testing our Secure IIS I ahd the error come up I
increased the value to 1080 and the error did not repeat!.
But through my search the Max Referer lenght is always
256.
SO I am trying to get feel for what the Referer really is,
is it part of the HTTP 1.1 protocol?

Any help or suggestions are appreciated

In fact, every time I try it, it works fine. However, after having many complaints about it not working right, I finally discovered that some of my users do not have the page referer set when they request my page, and I was checking on the form submission page to make sure...

I am attempting to block repeat downloads from a site. I need to have a landing page pass a referer to a secured page. I have tried a meta refresh redirect and several Javascript redirect strategies but none pass the referer. How can I force this since the referer property is read only? I have set up an .htaccess file so it will only let people into a secure directory if they come from an internal page on my site. This is done by...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
