HTTP Referer Header not working #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I apologize in advance if this is a problem due to my understanding of
Poster. I could not find any instructions on this issue at any websites or
any forums for discussing Poster.

Whenever the header "Referer" is used, no matter what value it is set to,
no referer value is sent to the server. All other header values appear to
work correctly though, such as "user-agent"

This is with Poster 1.4.0, the latest version from the addons.mozilla.org page.

I'm sorry, apparently it is a security feature of Firefox to prevent the 
referrer
field from being set.

I've marked this as something we can't fix.  Thanks.
