I am setting up a site and discourse is rejecting the referer. I have tried all reasonable permutations of the url of the embedding site in the discourse setup.
But on the page it always displays the same blank referer error:
The site is HTTPS but everything is set up reasonably, or reasonably enough to work at least.
But no matter what I do the referer is blank.
I assumed that it was some kind of downgrade problem with the HTTPS hiding the referer but I can’t seem to work out what’s going on.
The request seems fine…
Anyone have a clue?

ps sorry for my shitty site

Edit:
nvm
I was stripping referers on the page like an idiot.
