The referer header is missing !
Benjamin: Could this be a regression from bug 724465 ?

Without a regression range I don't know. It could also be bug 729009. What are the two HTTP logs you've listed?

Comment 3

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Is this problem present in Firefox 12 beta or Firefox 13 aurora?

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

I already started with the regression range searching after confirming.
The 2 http logs are from a nightly Seamonkey and Firefox11 as you can see by the UA string. 
I pasted the wrong http request for FF11 (the 302) but the final request shows also a referer header while the trunk GET request is without.
The request is the actual request by Gecko for the swf referenced by an object tag.

Last good nightly: 2012-01-31
First bad nightly: 2012-02-01

Josh, I'm wondering if there was a reason for passing nsnull here, or whether this was just a thinko in the original patch: this version passes tests, but my "weird side-effects" radar is going off.

Pass the content the embedded stream initiator, rev. 1

Review of attachment 607661 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is a thinko, and I think I know what my original logic was (described below). Your patch seems like a fine approach, but there are two remaining issues.

You will trip the assertion at the top of nsPluginHost::NewEmbeddedPluginStream since both values can be non-null:

NS_ASSERTION(!aContent || !aInstance, "Don't pass both content and an instance to NewEmbeddedPluginStream!");

I think, and the assertion corroborates, that my original logic was that content or the instance should be passed in, never both. This was probably based on the 'if' statement at the core of nsPluginHost::NewEmbeddedPluginStreamListener. However, since the first check is for the instance then it doesn't really hurt to have an instance and content, and the content is needed for the referrer code in nsPluginHost::NewEmbeddedPluginStream. This also holds safely true when we check for an instance first in nsPluginStreamListenerPeer::InitializeEmbedded.

The second issue is that the test fails locally on Fedora 16. Oddly, it succeeds as part of a full plugin tests run but it fails when you run it individually.

I have to minus on the assertion problem and the test failure, but once that is fixed up I think we're good. Thanks for fixing this!

I removed the assertion. I cannot reproduce any test failures, but I've removed the unnecessary changes in test_pluginstream_referer.html (I had originally tried to combine the tests, but that seems silly). I've kicked off a try run.

Pass the content the embedded stream initiator, rev. 1.1

Regression caused by (bug #): bug 90268
User impact if declined: Some websites with embedded Flash will stop working
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Just landed on m-c, will probably want a few days to shake out. Comes with automated tests.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): I believe that we are strictly returning to the previous behavior. The risk is just that the patch is wrong somehow, which given my current understanding seems pretty unlikely.

Bsmedberg: will you be able to do this landing to aurora in the next day or can we get someone else to land on your behalf?
