Hi, 

I don't think it is possible for browser passing https url as UrlReferrer to http. It will be null always when you navigate from https to http.

try this 

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack) //check if the webpage is loaded for the first time.
        {
            ViewState["PreviousPage"] = 
		Request.UrlReferrer;//Saves the Previous page url in ViewState
        }
    }
    protected void btnBack_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (ViewState["PreviousPage"] != null)	//Check if the ViewState 
						//contains Previous page URL
        {
            Response.Redirect(ViewState["PreviousPage"].ToString());//Redirect to 
		//Previous page by retrieving the PreviousPage Url from ViewState.
        }
    }
