There are two obvious cases of this: 1) data: URLs - should not send Referer because that could be an information disclosure. 2) sandboxed iframes without allow-origin - if they are not sending Origin as if on the hosting site, they should not send Referer as if on the hosting site either. (2.6 Fetching resources is the relevant section) 32029 1 ian 2010-02-14 09:47:14 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
