Is SL supposed to specify a referer when a web page is loaded from within SL using llLoadURL() ?

In this case would appear on webpage as request.servervariables("http_referer";).

I believe it simply causes a web page to open up in the default browser-- the browser handles such things as referrer on its own.

Right, but does Second Life specify a particular referer id, URL, or anything to let your server log know that

like with Google, it says that the referer is http://www.google.com/....yada yada

Is there no way to see which visits are coming from within SL? Or even to ensure that visits are coming from inside SL on certain pages? I guess that's what I am asking.

I know that i can specify this with normal page referers, but SL doesn't seem to be giving any referer. I wondered if it was just me.

No SL does not specify a referer. :( There I go answering my own question lol.
I suppose using a querystring in the URL will have to do.
