HTTP_REFERER value

[Johny]

Is HTTP_REFERER value transfered between different domains?
For example if I come to a website , say, www.python.org, from
website www.microsoft.com
will www.python.org finds that I came there from www.microsoft.com?
Thank you for help

Yes. This is how you know who is sending traffic to your site; some
browsers (Opera by example) let the user choose not to send this header.
(And what has this to do with Python?)

If you get from www.microsoft.com to www.python.org by clicking a link
on Microsoft's website, yes. If you get to www.python.org by manually
typing in the URL or by using a bookmark, no.
