How to set up redirects with saving the referrer?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Good afternoon!
How can I set up a redirect with .htaccess to save the referrer?
I write like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sitename.ru/$1?from=%{HTTP_REFERER} [L,R=301]

Doesn't work (empty string).
Where is the mistake?

Answer 1

If I click on page A to go to page B, and page B issues a 302 redirect to page C, then page C will still have a referrer from page A.

Answer 2

Somehow it has to be.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sitename.ru/$1?from=%1 [L,R=301]
