You have typed it wrong. It must be "Referer". Yes, normally this is the wrong one though, it is defined like this.

If you are making the HTTP request from PHP (e.g. with cURL), yes.

You can't control the referer header that a browser will make though.

<meta http-equiv="Referrer" content="never" />

Meta http equiv allows you to set something that is (theoretically) equivalent to an HTTP Response header. Referer is a Request header so that won't do anything.
