Request

Origin

Indicates the origin (scheme, host, port) from which a cross-origin request is made.

Syntax

Origin: <scheme>://<hostname>:<port>

Example

Origin: https://enterno.io

Description

The Origin header is sent with cross-origin requests (and same-origin POST requests). It tells the server where the request originated, allowing the server to decide whether to grant access via CORS.

Unlike Referer, Origin does not include the path. It is automatically set by the browser and cannot be overridden by JavaScript.
