To answer my own question from a month ago, to add logging of HTTP
referer (spelled right) into a Rails (1.2.x; can't speak for 2.x) app,
override log_processing in application.rb:
def log_processing
super
if logger && logger.info?
logger.info(" HTTP Referer: #{request.referer}")
end
end
Seems to work nicely. Since sometimes referers can be long, you may or
may not want to truncate to some value:
logger.info(" HTTP Referer: #{request.referer[0..100]}")
