I know two reasons for a blank referrer: The user calls the page directly or via bookmark, then you won't get a referrer. Some time ago we found a browser versions which didn't deliver the referrer (bug in the browser) - I believe it was a Explorer 4 on Mac and you cannot do anything against.I do not clearly understand what you are doing. You ask for the referer on an error page. How comes the user to this point? If there is some sort of redirection before, you might loose the referer there.
