RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 123293

People

(Reporter: radha, Assigned: radha)

Details

When a user moves away from a dynamic page created thro' document.write() to a normal page, wyciwyg://.... is passed on as the referrer uri. The site may not recognise wyciwyg:// as a valid protocol. The original document's url must be passed as the referrer uri.
the quick solution is to fixup nsHttpChannel::SetReferrer to block wyciwyg URLs. there's already a list of other protocols that should be blocked.
Summary: On dynamic pages, Wyciwyg:// should not be passed on as referrer url → On dynamic pages, Wyciwyg:// should not be passed on as referrer url
