Origin

Origin that initiated the request (CORS)

What the Origin header does

Origin identifies the scheme, host, and port that initiated a cross-origin request, without the path. Servers inspect it to decide CORS access and to defend against CSRF. Unlike Referer, it's sent on more request types and reveals less.

Example

Origin: https://devutilsnow.com

Where it's used

Origin is a request header. Request headers are sent by the client to describe the request and what the client can accept.

Other request headers
