Nginx outbound HTTP_REFERER not working

[jmadtech]

well that was my originally assumption, but I verified that in all 3
versions of my browser (firefox, IE and Chrome) that I'm set to pass
referer information to the site... and they're still not getting it from
me.  When I manually execute the same URL call from the command line
with a manually provided referer, it works fine.
