When is Request.UrlReferrer other than Nothing?

I have a .NET web site that needs to automatically login a user based on the page they were on when they clicked a link to my site. I believe that any referring page is stuffed into Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath. It makes sense that UrlReferrer is null (Nothing in VB.NET) when there is no referring page. However, in my tests, I am unable to make UrlReferrer something other than null, whether linking from sites inside or outside the firewall

Can you provide any insight into what establishes the UrlReferrer object? Or another way to do this?
