LoadRunner Referer option, what is it used for?

Question

Why is "Referer=myurl.com" appear within a web_submit_data() or web_url() function?

Is this some kind of base-url thing to tell LoadRunner where you are standing when i.e. saying:

web_url("something", "URL=iamgoingtothisurl",

What is the purpose of this "Referer"?

The referer element is not something defined by HP, Mercury or in LoadRunner itself, but it is defined by the relevant RFCs for HTTP and HTML,
