Explanation

The referrer exceptions feature on the Cisco WSA allows certain blocked URLs to be accessed when the request originates from a trusted referring page. The WSA evaluates the HTTP 'Referer' header field-which is part of the HTTP request headers (C)-to determine if the request was triggered by a link on an approved page. If the Referer header value matches a configured exception, the WSA permits the request even if the destination URL would otherwise be blocked. The protocol (A) and HTTP version (B) fields do not carry referrer information. The payload (D) is the request body, which is not where referrer information appears in an HTTP request.
