How to test the document.referrer on local?

I try to test the use of document.referrer in two local HTML pages but it doesn't work.

Here is my code:

HTML1:

<body>
  <button type="button" name="button" onclick="go()">go!</button>
  <a href="123.html">go with a</a>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function go() {
    location.assign('123.html')
  }
</script>

HTML2(123.html):

<body>
  <button type="button" name="button" onclick="gopre()">back</button>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function gopre() {
    location.assign(document.referrer);
    //console.log(document.referrer);//it's null
  }
</script>

Does document.referrer work locally? How should I use it?

Now I know why it can not work locally,because it relies on HTTP requests to work,

you can not use document.referrer even in an HTTP page jumped from an HTTPS page!

maybe cannot.

the document.referrer will be assigned by Browser and it will be stored by Browser.

The solution is that you could start a Quick Start web server.
