change header referer on xhr

[Alexey Romanenko]

Hello all.

If I try to set referer on xhr I get error Refused to set unsafe
header "Referer"

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "google.com", true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
console.log(xhr);
}
}
xhr.setRequestHeader('Referer', 'http://google.com');
xhr.send();

This code print 'Refused to set unsafe header "Referer"' on console.

How can I change referer for my request?

This is explicitly disallowed by the XHR spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#dom-xmlhttprequest-setrequestheader

Eventually we'll probably have an API to modify HTTP requests issued by the browser, but I don't believe this is possible right now.

Thanks for replay.

May be exist other path for do it?

Not through web platform APIs, you can only do it through NPAPI (c++, native code) currently.
