Launchpad requires a REFERER header to perform this action. There is no REFERER header present.
This can be caused by configuring your browser to block REFERER headers. Unblock REFERER
headers for launchpad.net and try again, or see the FAQ Why does Launchpad require a REFERER
header? for more information. You can also join the #launchpad IRC support channel on
irc.freenode.net for further assistance. • Take the tour • Read the guide © 2004-2011

Launchpad requires a REFERER header to perform this action.". I'm going to mark this bug as the error being horrible - the referer header is required as its part of our xsrf protection.
