Trying to set the referrer through a CustomResourceInterceptor.
This code does not work:
request.AppendExtraHeader("Referer", "somereferrer.com");
Header is not sent.
This code works:
request.Referrer = "somereferrer.com";
Header is sent. BUT referrer receives only the server and can be seen in the server variable $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. Of javascript referrer does not get in the variable document.referrer is empty. Respectively the counters counts both direct transitions.
Got to do so by calling the event webView.DocumentReady:
webView.ExecuteJavascript("delete window.document.referrer;window.document.__defineGetter__('referrer', function () { return 'somereferrer.com';});");
But this is not the right way. This crutch works not always. There must be a way to allocate it correctly.
How to make the referrer passed and the client side too? As it can be properly implemented?
