Help with referer issues in XSS

Hi, all

Suppose there is a reflect XSS vulnerability in a pop SNS, but this
site is "concerned" about security, so they check the referer field of
certain POST request to make sure that they are normal and correct. Is
it possible for me to bypass this check within javascript? It seems
that I can't set this parameter like this:

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Referer","http://expected.target";);

It would be appreciated if someone can give me a clue.

Regards,
