How to redirect without passing referer in express?

Question

Node.js

I make a redirect from the browser from the page: site.com/test
window.location.href = ' site.com/redirect?url=http://site2.net ';

app.get('/redirect', function( req, res ) {
  if( req.query.url )
    res.redirect( 301, req.query.url );
  else
    res.send( 'error' );
});

I want to get rid of the referrer by making a redirect from the browser first to the server, and the server would have redirected it to the right place without it.
But in this scenario, the referer is still passed.

If you are redirecting a user to a site in http, then configure your https, then the referer will not be transmitted =)
