Where did all the HTTP referrers go?
Good (and bad news): the general consensus in the web developer community is that any and every website should be HTTPS by default. Why? HTTP by itself isn't encrypted, leaving it open to eavesdropping, message tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks. HTTPS, if you use it consistently , prevents these issues.
