sending headers with a redirect

Here is what I would like to do:

I click a link on page A to go to page B. Page B redirects me to page
C and includes a referrer header showing page A as the referrer.

I know that I can't use $q->redirect("some url"), that creates its own
"package" when completing the redirection. I'm not sure what the best
approach is, or even if it is possible.

The reason I want to do this is that I want to be able use a redirect
at the "front door" without losing valuable information about where
visitors are coming from (search engines and so forth).

Thanks.
