Sending the referer is optional. You have no control over whether it's there or not. Do not rely on it.

True enough, but the issue is whether or not the server is dishing it up. If it's there for FF it should also be there for IE. I use it once in a while in non-critical applications.

Show the code, and maybe next time posting in the code forum would get more response.
