Bug Report: HTTP Referrer does not get sent when clicked #131

Closed MiniMistake closed 5 years ago

MiniMistake commented 6 years ago

I have this add-on installed in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/referercontrol/

Unfortunately, the referrer for each specific website I set in referercontrol is not followed by Feedly Notifier, whereas it works when just clicking a link inside the brower. For example:

Referrer Rule setup for *.google.com 
to/from/3rd  
www.test.com

Works when I go to google.com (google sees the referrer as test.com) (referrer log below)

Sat, Aug 18 21:43:49:
requested: https://google.com/
with referer: N/A
matched filter: https://*.google.com
sent referer: www.test.com

However if anything is linking to google.com inside Feedly Notifier www.test.com is not sent as the referrer.

I love this app, thanks for supporting it!

Hi, @MiniMistake,

Thanks for the feedback. I suppose you are talking about the extension?

Well, I don't know how the extension works internally, but. Feedly Notifier doesn't do something special when opening a link. Here is the code (creates a new tab with an URL).

I'd suggest contacting Referer Control authors.
