Seems more logical if the worker's location was used as the referrer. 2015-08-28 07:48:46 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified WHATWG HTML unspecified Other other RESOLVED INVALID http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#worker-processing-model-top blocked awaiting response from annevk to comment 1 (please remove this when replying) P3 normal Unsorted 1 contributor ian annevk ian mike contributor oldest_to_newest 99782 0 contributor 2014-02-05 14:37:34 +0000 Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/workers.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#worker-processing-model-top Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#worker-processing-model-top Referrer: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ Comment: Why do workers use document as their referrer source when they do not seem to need document for anything else?

The API referrer source for a worker settings object is the script's URL. Are you talking about the referrer source for the worker script itself? 102452 2 annevk 2014-03-17 15:00:58 +0000 Yes I am, sorry for the confusion. 122827 3 annevk 2015-08-28 07:48:46 +0000 The document is where the URL originates so it actually makes total sense.
