Extract from the HTTP spec:
"The Referer field MUST NOT be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard."
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.txt
So unless someone links to your index page you'll probably never get a referer.

Hello all:
After my wonderful experience getting standalone tomcat with SSL running non-root today, there's only one hitch: I'm using the combined log format, and it seems to be OK, except that on the first hit on my site (to the static index.html page) the referer field is always "-".
Subsequent hits from pages within the site show the correct referer, but my main interest is that initial one.
Anybody have any thoughts on how I can get that to show?
