Hello, currently, there is no standard behaviour for XMLHttpRequests regarding the Referer HTTP header - some browsers send it, others don't [see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170477]. As a web developer, I would welcome it if the referer header was sent by as many browsers as possible when using XMLHttpRequests. It helps a lot when analyzing problems and figuring out the origin of requests. Please include the Referer header in the specification as a recommended header for HTTP requests generated by the XMLHttpRequest object. Suggestion: 'HTTP requests SHOULD by default include the "Referer" HTTP header.' This probably belongs in the description of the "send" method.
