if I submit form or click any link but when I redirect to another page using javascript window.location
, IE did not set document.referrer

INFO: Internet Explorer Does Not Send Referer Header in Unsecured Situations
When linking from one document to another in Internet Explorer 4.0 and later, the Referer header will not be sent when the link is from an HTTPS page to a non-HTTPS page. The Referer header also will not be sent when the link is from a non-HTTP(S) protocol, such as file://, to another page.
