Hi Shannon -

It may not matter why in the "where I'm coming from" in general, but the
webservice I'm talking to needs to know what URL I am coming from for some
kind of validation.  I dunno.  I'm just a programmer. What do I know about
technical things?

I'll figure this out eventually.  I honestly don't even know if I'm even
asking the right question yet or not.

At the HTTP/HTTPS level, it is the Referer: header. Yes, it really is spelled Referer, not Referrer.
E.g.

Referer: http://www.example.net/specific-page-I-am-coming-from.html

At the application level it could be something totally different.
