I'm using a Response.Redirect to redirect users to another server to download a file, and the other server is checking the header to ensure it came from the correct server… however it seems Response.Redirect strips the headers from the Response.
Does anybody know how i can add the headers back? I've tried:
Response.AddHeader("Referer", "www.domain.com");
But the receiving page tests false when i check if the Referrer header is set.
Any suggestions how i can get this working, other than displaying a button for the user to click on (i'd like to keep the url hidden from the user as much as possible).

There is an HTML hack available.
If you need to trigger that from a code behind, that can be done too:
As Inkel might point out, that is a loose interpretation of the Referer[sic] spec. It will do what you want though.
