           Summary: Take referrer policy into account when clearing the
                    referrer header
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

In order to correctly support the meta-referrer tag, network stacks used by the various ports need to take the referrer policy into account when clearing the Referrer header:

e.g. in Source/WebCore/platform/network/mac/ResourceHandleMac.mm the referrer header is cleared when redirecting from https to !https. This should only happen, if the referrer policy for this request as "default". For others ("always", "never", "origin") the header should not be touched.

Test is in http/tests/security/referrer-policy-redirect-link.html
