HTTP_REFERER Returns Nothing

Hi,

I'm trying to retreive information using
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), with no success. The users
arrive to the page using simple link, and without being redirected or
any other way - just a simple click on a link. It is important to say
that they click on the link in one website (Hosted on server A) and
arriving to another website (Hosted on server B), where I'm using the
HTTP_REFERER. maybe this is the reason to my problem ?

best regards,

Ilay

Another possibility:

"...some user agents may suppress cookies, referer headers, or
other information until they receive the P3P response header..."
