XHR does not specify what URL to use for Referer

State:
CLOSED

HISTORICAL: XHR [bugs and issues are tracked via Bugzilla http://tinyurl.com/Bugz-XMLHttpRequest]
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
XHR does not specify what URL to use for Referer. HTML5 specifies this in the Resource Fetch algorithm, but XHR does not use that. This should be specified, and in particular if the XHR is being made with a unique identifier origin it should not send a referer at all.
