Regarding http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-browser-hints-04 I suggest a new property: Browser Hint Name: no-referer Description: Tells the client to either not send the Referer header (true), or use its own discretion (false). Value Type: true | false Contact: Nicholas Shanks <nickshanks@nickshanks.com> Specification: Notes: Usual behaviour when hint is not present is equivalent to a value of false. Indicates that the server does not use the Referer header for access control, session tracking, negotiation, or other activities which may vary responses for any URI in its domain, including 404 responses, feedback forms, and the like. Implies that the server is not interested in recording the referring URI for statistical analysis purposes or client fingerprinting. -- Nicholas.
