Error: Argument 1 passed to Spatie\Referer\Referer::__construct() must be of the type string, null given

[jordanade]

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError
Argument 1 passed to Spatie\Referer\Referer::__construct() must be of the type string, null given

Triggered by a request from Amazon-Route53-Health-Check-Service. Looks like sometimes Laravel 6.18 passes in a null sessionKey.

I also ran into this today. I'm using Laravel Forge if it helps and my app is running Laravel v7.11.0 with PHP v7.4.4.

Here's my stacktrace:
