Did you check if the client actually sent a Referer header?

This is a typical log file line I see from Hunchentoot.  It does
contain a Referer entry (which corresponds to the "-" in your
example):

  127.0.0.1 - "GET /hunchentoot/test/cookie.html HTTP/1.1" 200 924 "http://localhost:4242/hunchentoot/test" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6"

Ugh, that looks like a lot of work of which I'm not sure if it should
be in the "core" code.  Would you consider providing this
functionality as some kind of "plug-in"?

Cheers,
