For geeks: could not find "Referrer" header.
- choult 13y agoPoint of interest, it's actually "Referer" - a misspelling that dates back to the original HTTP RFC 1945. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer
- laurihy 13y agoOops, good catch, thanks! Hadn't thought of this. Apparently the problem is just sending a request https->http. https->https should work fine. Adding SSL asap. EDIT: now you can also use https://api.formspree.com/your@email.com https://api.formspree.com/your@email.com

I'd say just do away with the refer(r)er. http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/47405/how-can-i-pass-referrer-header-from-my-https-domain-to-http-domains http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/47405/how-can-... Maybe later when you have a real problem, fix it then. Let's cross bridges when we come to the river, that way we'll all have much simpler code!
