Discord are missing the HTTP_REFERER!!

Discord are missing the HTTP_REFERER when user visits a website, from a link in Discord chat/DM's.
If added, it will allow website developers to monitor how many of their visitors are linked from Discord.

  Discord doesnt send a header at all, it does only open the URL in browser. (It would require to short tracking links like twitter does or an internal Browser and this would also lead into a lot of scam issues) So please keep discord users privacy and don't make it hard so that privacy aware users have to copy the URL into the browser.

  ||Jojo|| It would be simple to add that header and an option to "keep you private" :-) ..
  
  And I dont see where the scam would happened? This would only be useful to track where a user came from, when he visited your site. Like you can do with eg. Twitter, Facebook or Google.

  I just ran into this.  But at least in my case, I know that most of the visitors to my site that don't have referrer are coming from Discord.  It would be nicer though, if there was a referrer.
