Here's an example:
I connect to Website A. Website A makes requests to several content delivery networks.
Here's my question:
Aside from looking at oRequest.Headers['Referer'], Is it possible to determine that Website A was the 'origin' when looking at the Fiddler request sent to the content delivery networks.
In essence I'm asking, "Who started this chain of web requests?" I'm not sure if that is possible, is it?

Hi, Kris--
Generally speaking, no, you can only use the Referer (and/or your code to do parsing of HTML/script) in order to make this determination.
If your client is IE, there's a way to get a little more information in some cases; see the Understanding Download-Initiator ​section of https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/fiddler/2011/02/10/fiddler-and-the-ie9-release-candidate/ for details.
